The FCC today adopted new requirements for television broadcasters to
quarterly file a report with the FCC quantifying their service to the
public. The order also requires that stations keep their public file
on their website, if they have a website. Broadcasters will also be
required to broadcast twice each day a notice as to how listeners can
find their public file. This order resolves some of the issues raised
in a rulemaking proceeding (about which we wrote here) begun over 7
years ago as part of the rules to govern TV's digital transition. Yet
these new rules apply to analog as well as digital television
operations. In fact, the public file rule goes into effect 60 days
after the publication of the FCC's order in the Federal Register.

In the House, the bill was introduced by Reps. Howard Berman (D-CA) and
Darrell Issa (R-CA), while in the Senate the effort is being
spearheaded by Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT). The
Senate bill is co-sponsored by Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and John
Conyers (D-MI).
Broadcast stations would, under the bill, be allowed to use a statutory
license to make one annual payment at a government-set rate. If they
don't choose that option, they'll have to negotiate rights separately
with each copyright owner whose music they want to use

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
still gets their programming via over-the-air antennas will no longer
receive a picture.
That's the day the television industry completes its transition from old-style analog broadcasting to digital.
