Much of early education is spent trying to tackle the skill of writing, specifically the intimidating task of the child’s name. Parents and teachers may use any number of techniques to tackle this ability, including the most common method of connecting dot-to-dots on a lined paper tablet. With due diligence and patience, the dots are slowly taken away and a child can begin to both recognize and trace their own name.

How to deal with a noncommercial radio station’s public inspection file when the station is licensed to a college and has a main studio in a restricted-access student residence hall is a question that I have received repeatedly when I have conducted sessions on FCC rules at noncommercial broadcasters’ conventions and meetings. In a consent decree reached with a college and announced by the FCC on Friday , the FCC’s Media Bureau has suggested how this issue should be dealt with – by asking for a

September is almost here and the new school year is upon us. Although kids are the ones going back to class, attorneys and paralegals could use a curriculum refresher too.

Born and raised in the small town of Graham, just ninety miles outside of Fort Worth, I was deep in the heart of Texas. Springs filled with bluebonnets, falls filled with football – it was home. Our claim to fame was America’s Largest Town Square. Located in that square was the Young County courthouse – where I began learning about the intricate workings of the civil litigation process.

The FCC has asked for comments on a rulemaking proposal that would fundamentally change the way in which LPFM stations operate – proposing that they be allowed to take commercial messages (as opposed to the current limit the they operate noncommercially, only taking underwriting announcements and other noncommercial sponsorships), allowing them to be owned by local small businesses (as opposed to the current rule that limit their ownership to nonprofit organizations), and giving them primary sta

The FCC recently issued a Declaratory Ruling and Order on the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) – and that order highlights many issues with broadcasters who use texts or outbound automated calls to the mobile devices of viewers and listeners. In fact, today the FCC released a Notice of Apparent Liability proposing to fine a travel marketing company $2,960,000 for robocalls to households on the Do-Not-Call list, without having any consent from the recipients of the calls.

The FCC today released an Order setting December 2 as the date for the filing of FCC Form 323 Ownership Reports by commercial broadcast stations. All commercial broadcasters must submit this report. While the report is technically supposed to be filed by November 1 every other year, that date has routinely been extended as the FCC form is far more complicated to complete for many licensees than are the normal ownership reports that are filed after station purchases and sales (see for instance, t

Whether an FM antenna that is purportedly nondirectional should be reclassified as a directional antenna , requiring that the station which uses it back down its power, was a question that the FCC addressed a few months ago in a case we wrote about here. There, the FCC concluded that the antenna was in fact designed to radiate in certain directions far more than predicted from an omni-directional antenna, ordering the station that was using the antenna to show cause why it should not be forced

Grant Glovin, Sabin Center Summer Intern. Hillary Clinton’s climate change plan , released last week, centers on two goals: installing 500 million solar panels by 2021, and, relatedly, adding enough electric generation capacity from renewable sources to supply all residential electricity needs. The plan appears ambitious: the solar power expansion alone would represent a sevenfold increase in the country’s current solar generating capacity.
