In our last morning email blast, we got word out about which radio stations are in the hopper for the FCC’s latest random EEO checks. This time, it’s television’s turn.
Smaller stations are not held to the same standards as larger one, but all must at the very least respond to the FCC inquiry.
Small stations will need to demonstrate that they qualify for an exemption from rules which require broad outreach when broadcast stations seek to fill a staff opening.
There are a wide variety of questions that need to be answered for each vacancy the station attempted to fill, and the rules apply to both owned and LMA’d stations.
Here are the television stations that have been selected in this year’s random drawing.
