EEO Compliance Reminder
The FCC has recently levied fines of $8,000 to $20,000 for broadcasters who have failed to comply with current EEO rules. Attorney David Oxenford of Davis Wright Tremaine has prepared a comprehensive report that covers the basis for the rules and what the FCC is looking for. He also provides samples of documents for providing information to the FCC. This is a crucial collection of information for anyone who runs a broadcast station or is responsible for EEO compliance.
