The FCC has once again proposed a $10,000 fine against a college radio station missing quarterly issues/program lists in the public inpsection file. This time, the culprit is Rollins College , a small liberal arts college in Florida with 1700 students.

On Friday, the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit followed the FCC's lead in denying the NAB's request for stay of the requirement for TV stations to post their public inspection files online. Accordingly, that rule goes into effect on Thursday, August 2, 2012. Effective that date, TV stations should post all new public file documents online in the FCC database created for this purpose.
