Some 53 months and two weeks ago, Audacy pulled the plug on the Top 40 format and "NOW" branding for an FM radio station in Los Angeles in favor of a simulcast of its Class A 50kw all-News AM. Now, the company has decided to end the simulcast by directly going after iHeartMedia.
An AM/FM simulcast offering spoken word programming that includes The Mike Gallagher Show, Sean Hannity and a locally hosted "Going Home" show in the 5pm hour is being spun. Who is buying these stations, which serve small cities south of Abilene and northeast of San Angelo, Tex.?
The Video Division of the FCC's Media Bureau has issued an Order to a broadcast television station owner linked to the creator of 5-Hour Energy liquid supplements to file early license renewal applications for its stations, following an investigation for compliance with its obligations as a licensed broadcaster.
Four items appear on the FCC's May Open Meeting agenda, including an order to modernize the Disaster Information Reporting System, where outage information is reported during emergencies. Brendan Carr offers a preview of all that's up for discussion on May 20.
It's Official: The FCC is proceeding with a rare early review of the broadcast licenses held by The Walt Disney Co. A direct threat to ABC Owned Stations, the possibility of a license renewal denial by the FCC yielded an irate response from the lone Democrat on the Commission.
