In June 2022, FCC Media Bureau Video Division Chief Barbara Kreisman issued Notices of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture to the owner of four PBS Member stations for public file rule violations. In total, the licensee was on the hook for $30,000 in financial penalties.
Now, more than 18 months later, the Commission has entered into a Consent Decree with the broadcaster that resolves the matter in full through a civil penalty.
