FCC Announces Workshop on Access to, and Use of, Broadcast Ownership Data

On Wednesday, September 9, 2015, the Federal Communications Commission's Media Bureau will host an all-day public workshop to discuss access to, and use of, the FCC's commercial broadcast ownership data. As part of the FCC's ongoing outreach efforts, the goal of this workshop is to assist individuals and organizations that wish to use and study the large amount of broadcast ownership data that is available to the public on the FCC's website. Topics addressed in the workshop will include: relevant data that the FCC collects, how members of the public an access those data, and mechanisms for querying, studying, and visualizing the data, including the combination with data available for non-FCC sources. In light of the technological requirements for this event, the FCC strongly encourages attendees to preregister by visiting the FCC website.
