Stations Hit For Filing Flaws

[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The FCC has proposed to fine another handful of stations for failure to keep their public files up to date. The FCC has begun cracking down on paperwork requirements, particularly failures to record compliance with the children's television rules, but such record-keeping errors have so far not been sufficiently egregious, when taken with other measures of public-service performance, to threaten any license renewals. FCC Commissioner Michael Copps, for one, has complained that the FCC is too easy on licensees, essentially letting them send a postcard and get eight new years.
