FCC Compliance: Preparing Your Station for a Violation-Free New Year

Available ON DEMAND after November 10, 2022 

This webinar is not so much a review of 2022 but instead a look-ahead to the compliance issues that broadcast engineers should think about as the calendar turns to 2023: EAS functionality and testing, technical record keeping, station identification, tower lighting & marking, C-band dish reimbursement, license accuracy, online public inspection files, etc.  If there are any broad topics you think warrant discussion during the presentation, please don’t hesitate to make suggestions!
