Pursuant to Federal Communications Commission Rules & Regulations, Stations must keep the following materials in their public inspection file:
|
| The License (Click here for a list of available Downloadable
PDF Documents). Stations must keep a copy of their current FCC
license in the public file, together with any material documenting
FCC-approved modifications to the license. The license reflects the
station's technical parameters (authorized frequency, call letters,
operating power, transmitter location, etc.), as well as any special
conditions imposed by the FCC on the station's operation. The license also
indicates when it was issued and when it will expire.
| |
| Applications and Related Materials (List
of Applications available on the FCC Website due to the theft of our
previous Public Inspection File on July 29, 2002). The public file
must contain copies of all applications filed with the FCC that are still
pending before either the FCC or the courts. These include applications to
sell the station (technically known as "assigning" or
"transferring" the license) or to modify its facilities (for
example, to increase power, change the antenna system, or change the
transmitter location).
Also, the station must keep copies of any construction or sales
application whose grant required the FCC to waive it's rules. Applications that
required a waiver, together with any related material, will reflect the
particular rule(s) that were waived.
The station must also keep renewal applications that were granted for less
than a full license term until final grant of their next renewal
application. The FCC may grant such short-term renewals when they are concerned
about the station's performance over the previous term. These concerns will
be reflected in the renewal-related material in the public file.
| |
| Citizen Agreements (At this time, KBKH has no citizens agreements to
report.). Stations
must keep a copy of any written agreements they make with local viewers or
listeners. These "citizen agreements" deal with programming,
employment, or other issues of community concern. The station must keep
these agreements in the public file for as long as they are in effect.
| |
| Contour Maps (Until our permanent antenna is completely repaired, KBKH
is not publishing an official contour study map.). The
public file must contain copies of any service contour maps or other
information submitted with any application filed with the FCC that reflects
the station's service contours and/or its main studio and transmitter
location. These documents must stay in the file for as long as they remain
accurate. Not all stations are required to have contour maps.
| |
| Material Relating to an FCC Investigation or a Complaint (Click
for the latest of David Rushing's complaints that are on file with the FCC). Stations must keep material
relating to any matter that is the subject of an FCC investigation or a
complaint that the station has violated the Communications Act or FCC rules.
The station must keep this material until the FCC notifies it that the material may
be discarded. Since the FCC is not involved in disputes regarding any matters
that are unrelated to the Communications Act or FCC rules, stations do not have to
keep material relating to such matters in the public file.
| |
| Ownership Reports and Related Material (Click
for our latest Ownership Report on file with the FCC). The public file must contain a copy of the most recent,
complete Ownership Report filed for the station. This report has the names
of the owners of the station and their ownership interests, lists any
contracts related to the station that are required to be filed with the FCC,
and identifies any interest held by the station licensee in other broadcast
stations.
| |
| List of Contracts Required to be Filed with the FCC. Stations have
to keep either a copy of all the contracts that they have to file with us,
or an up-to-date list identifying all such contracts. If the station keeps a
list and you ask to see copies of the actual contracts, the station must
give them to you within seven days.
Contracts required to be maintained or listed in the public inspection
file include:
- contracts relating to network service (network affiliation contracts)
(A List of available Downloadable PDF Documents will be posted as soon
as they become available to us);
- contracts relating to ownership or control of the licensee or
permittee or its stock. Examples include articles of incorporation,
bylaws, agreements providing for the assignment of a license or permit
or affecting stock ownership or voting rights (stock options, pledges,
or proxies), and mortgage or loan agreements that restrict the licensee
or permittee's freedom of operation (At this time, KBKH is operating
as a sole proprietorship and has no contracts of this nature to post);
- management consultant agreements with independent contractors, and
station management contracts that provide for a percentage of profits or
sharing of losses (At this time, KBKH is operating as a sole
proprietorship and has no contracts of this nature to post).
| |
| Political File. Stations must keep a file containing records of all
requests for broadcast time made by or for a candidate for public office.
The file must identify how the station responded to such requests and (if
the request was granted) the charges made, a schedule of the time purchased,
the times the spots actually aired, the rates charged, and the classes of
time purchased. The file must also reflect any free time provided to a
candidate. The station must keep the political records for two years after
the spot airs. You can find the political broadcasting rules elsewhere in
this manual (At this time, KBKH has not engaged in any form of political
advertising and has no documents of this nature to post).
| |
| Annual Employment Reports and Related Material (At this time, KBKH is
operating as a sole proprietorship and has no contracts of this nature to
post). The FCC requires all
radio and TV stations to afford equal opportunity in employment. We also
prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion,
national origin, or sex. We require stations to file reports annually
describing how they have complied with these policies. However, some of the
specific rules implementing these policies were struck down by the D.C.
Circuit Court in 1998. As a result, we are in the process of studying them
to make them consistent with the court's requirements.
| |
| Copies of "The Public and Broadcasting". Stations must keep a copy of
"The Public and Broadcasting" in
the public file. You can also read it on the FCC's Internet web site at http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/decdoc/public_and_broadcasting.html
[see also Where
to Obtain].
| |
| Letters and E-Mail from the Public (Boy, do we ever have these!
However, as we're just now beginning to upload our public files, this
information will be added as soon as it's been scanned and converted to PDF
formatted documents). Commercial stations must keep
written comments and suggestions received from the public regarding their
operation for at least three years.
Noncommercial stations are not subject to this requirement.
| |
| Issues/Programs List (Boy, do we ever have these! However, as we're
just now beginning to upload our public files, this information will be
added as soon as it's been scanned and converted to PDF formatted documents). Every three months, all stations must prepare
and place in their file a list of programs that have provided their most
significant treatment of community issues during the preceding
three months. The list must briefly describe both the issue and the
programming where the issue was discussed. The stations must keep these
lists for the entire license term.
| |
| Radio Time Brokerage Agreements (KBKH does not engage in time brokerage
agreements). A time brokerage agreement is a
type of contract that generally involves a station's sale of discrete blocks
of air time to a broker, who then supplies the programming to fill that time
and sells the commercial spot announcements to support the programming.
Commercial radio stations must keep a copy of every agreement involving: (1)
time brokerage of that station; or (2) time brokerage by any other station
owned by the same licensee.
| |
| List of Donors (KBKH does not generally accept "donations"). Noncommercial TV and radio stations must keep a
list of donors supporting specific programs for two
years after the program airs.
| |
| Local Public Notice Announcements (At this time, we have only one
Public Notice Announcement to post. This will be posted as soon as the
information has been converted into a format suitable for internet posting). When someone files an
application to build a new station or to renew, sell, or modify an existing
station, we often require the applicant to make a series of local
announcements to inform the public of the application's existence and
nature. These announcements are either published in a local newspaper or
made over the air on the station, and they are intended to give the public
an opportunity to comment on the application. Copies of these announcements
must be retained in the public inspection file.
