Davis Wright Tremaine 2009 Broadcast Calendar Now Available - A Broadcaster's Guide to the Regulatory Obligations for the New Year
2009 - a new year, and a whole new cycle of regulatory requirements. We wrote last week about the potential for changes in regulations that may be forthcoming but, like death and taxes, there are certain regulatory dates each year that broadcasters need to note and certain deadlines that must be met. Those dates are set out in our advisory - Important Dates For Broadcasters in 2009 - a calendar of the year's regulatory filings. Dates include the deadlines for routine FCC filings - ownership reports, children's television reports, quarterly issues programs lists, EEO Public File reports, etc. Dates for the payment of royalties for Internet radio streaming operations are also included, as well as the lowest unit rate windows for upcoming gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia. And the all-important DTV deadlines are also listed. So, to keep track of your regulatory obligations, check out our broadcaster's calendar, here.
