Public Inspection Files
WBEC-TV & WKPX-FM
Purpose of the File. As discussed above, all Noncommercial Educational stations have an obligation to operate in accordance with FCC rules and policies. Such stations must cover important issues facing their communities, air educational programming for children, refrain from airing indecent programming at times children are likely to be in the audience, are not allowed to sell airtime for advertisements and are not required to provide time to political candidates for public office, but when they do so must provide equal access to opposition candidates. The materials contained within the Public File provides viewers and listeners with a source of information regarding the Licensee’s programming, operations and compliance with applicable rules and policies. Information that may be found in that file includes: station authorizations, station applications, service contour maps, ownership reports, equal employment opportunity reports, political time or ad request information, the Public and Broadcasting consumer assistance manual, quarterly public interest issues programming lists, information on any local public notice compliance, donor supported programs contributor lists, FCC investigation or complaint matters materials, on air fundraising activities for 3rd parties information, documentation regarding foreign sponsorship identification efforts, and carriage requests to cable & satellite carriers. The FCC encourages a continuing dialogue between broadcasters and members of the public to ensure that stations meet their obligations and remain responsive to the needs of the local community.
Viewing the Public Inspection File. The online public file is available on the FCC’s website (see links above) 24 hours a day. Additionally, any materials still maintained in hard copy at the station’s main studio, may be viewed during regular business hours. Although you do not need to make an appointment to view the file, making one may be helpful both to the station and to you.
