Almost six years after requiring TV stations to move their Public Inspection File online,
March 1 marks the deadline for radio stations that have not yet moved their file online to complete that task. The FCC required commercial radio stations with five or more full-time employees in the top 50 markets to make the move in 2016. As a result, this "last wave" of stations moving online consists mostly of noncommercial and smaller-market commercial radio stations. That means the drain on limited station resources will often be disproportionately greater than it was for TV and large-market radio stations making the move.
Based on the feedback we have been hearing from broadcasters across the state, we are sharing this webinar recording with our members to address many of the technical challenges that are making the move difficult for many stations. The recording covers what you need to do and what the FCC has said it will do for you, so that your employees can accomplish the task in the most efficient manner possible. Other topics include talking about the future - how maintaining an online file changes not only how you interact with your file, but how the FCC and others will interact with it as well.

This morning, old Punxsutawney Phil scurried out of his little home and saw his shadow. This omen indicates a long winter. Great for those of us who like the cold.

The Kentucky High School Athletic Association, along with the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches and the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame, are celebrating 100 years of the sport near and dear to the state of Kentucky; Basketball.
The 2017-2018 basketball season marks the beginning of this "Centennial Celebration", but planning began in 2015.
On October 17, KHSAA held a press conference to reveal the remainder of their plans for the 2017-2018 season to be "A Season to Remember".
The Centennial celebration actually began at the 2017 Boys Sweet 16 at Rupp Arena where it tipped-off.
The logo used for the Centennial Celebration above was a contest for students to design and a Calloway County High School senior won.
For further information, visit
khsbk100.com, where a full video of the press conference is available as well as 12 PSA's promoting the Centennial of High School Basketball.
