Thanks to our friends at the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters and the firm of Brooks, Pierce, McLendon, Humphrey, and Leonard, the MBA is providing its members a comprehensive list of the items to be included in the online public file. All commercial and non-commercial stations outside of the Boston market and non-commercial stations in the Boston market must have their files online by March 1.
The list differentiates which files a station is responsible for and which stations the FCC will import from other areas. It is advisable for stations to make sure the files from the FCC are imported correctly on or before the March 1 deadline.
