Chief Operator Responsibilities - What Should I Be Doing?
Instructional Method: Online, On-Demand Webinar

Bring This Presenter to Your Area
Overview
The licensee of each AM, FM, TV or Class A TV broadcast station must designate a person to serve as the station's chief operator (FCC Rules 73.1870). Depending on the type of facilities, there are varying requirements as to who this person may be and their responsibilities. This training covers the responsibilities of the designated chief operator and the duties necessary to fulfill this position.
Why You Should Attend
SBE members often serve as the designated (or alternate) chief operator. Others are key support personnel for managerial staff. SBE members who understand the requirements of the chief operator will be an invaluable source for any broadcast facility.
