As a general public inspection file-related matter, we have always
recommended that every broadcast station that is required to maintain
a public inspection file organize its paper-based public file in an
orderly fashion that parallels the sequence of, and incorporates
sub-section titles contained in, the Commission’s public inspection
file rules. Those rules are set forth at Section 73.3526 for
commercial radio and television stations and at Section 73.3527 for
noncommercial educational radio and television stations (collectively,
the “Public File Rule”). By maintaining separate file folders
corresponding to each sub-section of the Public File Rule, a station
reduces the risk that it will have omitted from its public file a
required document. In addition, this system has a proven track record
of impressing FCC and Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program (“ABIP”)
inspectors who have reviewed station public files that are organized in
this way.

Millions of $40 government coupons become available Tuesday to help
low-tech television owners buy special converter boxes for older TVs
that might not work after the switch to digital broadcasting.
Beginning Feb. 18, 2009, anyone who does not own a digital set and
