Issues-responsive programming lists for the first quarter of 2024 must be uploaded to radio station online public inspection files by Wednesday, April 10, 2024.
Commercial and non-commercial AM and FM stations must upload a list of programs that have provided the most significant treatment of community issues during the previous quarter. The list should include a brief narrative statement that identifies the issues that were given significant treatment and describes the programs in which the issues were addressed. Each program description must include the date, time, and title of the program, the duration of each issue-responsive segment, and a brief explanation of how the programming addressed the issues.
Maintaining issues-responsive programming lists is required under the FCC’s public inspection file rules. Fines of $10,000 and more have been assessed when quarterly issues programs lists were not timely prepared and uploaded to public files.
If you have questions about the FCC’s quarterly recordkeeping obligations, please contact an attorney in our Media practice group.
