[Kzyxtalk] FCC Requirements - Ticket #970630

[Kelly Grimes]

People,
I did read parts of the FCC document and below is an excerpt from what 
it says about smaller stations like ours.  This ruling simply refers to 
the online requirements, not the "on site" requirements which clearly 
state that the donor list must be available on site in the public file 
for all to see.

83.   As we proposed in the NPRM, we will commence online public file 
requirements for
radio with commercial stations in markets 1 through 50, as defined by 
Nielsen Audio (formerly Arbitron),
that have five or more full-time employees.We will delay all mandatory 
online filing for other radio stations for approximately two years, until
March 1, 2018.  Commencing on this date, all NCE radio stations, all 
commercial stations in markets below the top 50 as well as those outside 
all markets,and all commercial top 50 market stations with fewer than 
five full-time employees must begin placing all
new public and political file material in the online file. In addition, 
as of this date, these stations must have placed all their existing 
public file material in the online file, with the exception of their 
existing
political file material. Stations transitioning to the online file in 
the second wave will have approximately two years in which to upload 
their existing public file material to the online file. Accordingly, we 
do not
believe these stations need an additional six months beyond the March 1, 
2018 transition date in which to upload existing public file material.

Transparency will make everything more clear !!!!!!

Thanks for all your work Scott !

Kelly Grimes
