Revised Broadcast Station Rules Effective June 18

Posted on May 29th, 2026 by

The FCC announced June 18 as the effective date for updates to Parts 73 and 74 of its rules governing full power and low power broadcast stations. The rule changes were adopted back in March to delete several obsolete rule portions, better reflect current application processing requirements, codify existing practices, and remove references to outdated procedures and legacy filing systems. The Report & Order adopting the rule changes was part of the ongoing “Delete Delete” docket where several other rule change proposals have been suggested.
