Washington, D.C. – The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has released new Broadcast Station Self-Inspection Guides for AM, FM and television stations. These updated guides provide broadcasters with practical guidance for conducting self-inspections of their stations.
NAB and the Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) joined together to provide up-to-date, standardized guidance toward compliance with FCC rules and policies. The guides are also intended to be used by contract inspectors who are part of the Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program, which are administered by most state broadcaster associations. Until 2003, the FCC published self-inspection checklists, but it has not updated them despite significant changes to its rules and policies.
The guides are a free member benefit to NAB and SBE members. They are available for download from the NAB member portal and from SBE.
The National Association of Broadcasters is the premier advocacy association for America's broadcasters. NAB advances radio and television interests in legislative, regulatory and public affairs. Through advocacy, education and innovation, NAB enables broadcasters to best serve their communities, strengthen their businesses and seize new opportunities in the digital age.
