Congress last week adopted a bill important to all US media companies that produce content that can be received overseas. This would include anyone with content on their website (including user generated content) that could potentially give rise to a legal judgment overseas.

The FCC now has sent notices to broadcast stations about their obligation to pay regulatory fees by August 31. Last week, it issued three public notices about the fees - one simply announcing that the fees are due by that date , one setting out the procedures for filing the regulatory fees , and a third reminding all filers that they need to pay using the FCC's on-line Fee Filer system.
In another sign of just how closely the FCC monitors contests conducted by broadcast stations , the FCC this week issued a Notice of Apparent Liability (a notice of a fine of $4000) to Nassau Broadcasting for being imprecise in the wording of the contest rules for a contest to be held at one of its stations. In the rules of the contest, the station stated that entries would be accepted "through June 13, 2008.

The FCC today upheld the cancellation of a television station's license for being off the air for over one year. Section 312(g) of the Communications Act instructs the Commission to cancel a license of any broadcast station that has not transmitted "broadcast signals" for over one year, unless there is a public interest reason for allowing the station to keep its license.

The FCC has issued another in a series of Notice of Proposed Rule Makings aimed at implementing changes to the satellite television rules brought about by the recently enacted Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 or " STELA " In particular, by its NPRM issued last week, the Commission proposes a predictive model to provide presumptive determinations as to whether a household is considered unserved by a local network-affiliated digital station.
Analyzing contract trends with manual contract management is like sifting through a pile of papers in a dimly lit room, trying to find clues manually. Advanced CLM software’s contract data analytics, on the other hand, is like having an AI-based, intelligent magnifying glass that not only highlights key clues but also connects the dots for you. With innovative, AI-powered contract data analytics, you can solve the mystery of trends faster and with greater accuracy, making informed decisions base
Are you ready to file your next license renewal application ? It seems like the last license renewal cycle just ended (in fact, the last cycle is not over, as evidenced by the fact that the FCC in the last week has released several decisions dealing with late-filed renewals from the last cycle, and many TV stations still have license renewals that have not been granted due to pending indecency issues).
Even though there has been a request to put on hold the FCC's EEO enforcement (about which we wrote here ), filed by a prominent Washington DC organization that promotes the participation of minorities and new entrants in broadcast employment and ownership positions, the FCC today announced that it is launching another round of EEO audits - this time only auditing radio stations.
The FCC recently fined a station $8500 for not having an operational EAS system for almost two years, and for not having a main studio that was manned during normal business hours. The EAS fine was evident, as the station did not dispute that it did not have an operational EAS system in place. It did, however, challenge the conclusion that it should be fined for having a main studio that was not manned during normal business hours.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the legal industry, and paralegals are at the forefront of this transformation.

But what exactly does AI mean for paralegals today—and how can you leverage it to your advantage?
While most of the FCC's political broadcasting rules have remain unchanged for almost 20 years, each year there are a few new wrinkles that arise, and seemingly a few misconceptions that make the rounds among advertising agencies that work with political candidates. One such misconception that seems to be circulating this year is that an ad for a state or local political candidate does not need to have their voice or picture to be a "use" under FCC rules.
The debate over the proposed performance royalty (or " performance tax ") on over-the-air radio is once again front page news in all of the broadcast trade press, as radio executives who make up the NAB Radio Board reportedly are making their way to Washington, DC to decide on whether to pursue a settlement with those seeking to impose the royalty.
