IMPORTANT TELEVISION
STATION NOTE: On and after August 2, 2012, all full-power
television broadcasters must upload new public file documents to the Commission's Online Public Inspection File.
Except for the political file, broadcasters will have six months after August
2, 2012, to upload public file documents that were in the file prior to August
2, 2012. In the case of the political file, only
broadcasters affiliated with the top four national television broadcast
networks in the top 50 DMAs are required to upload their political files
beginning on August 2, 2012, and must do so only on a going-forward basis. No
pre-August 2, 2012 political files need to be uploaded. All other TV broadcasters will begin to
upload new political files on July 1, 2014, and will be exempt from uploading
any documents already in their political files on that date. The One Page Broadcast Station Local Public File
Checklists above describe materials that are required to be in TV station local
public files without regard to and without reference to whether the material is
to be kept locally or in the Commission's Online Public
Inspection File. For more information, see TV Station Profiles & Public Inspection
Files.
