1. Invite Members of Congress to your Station During Congressional Recess
While members of Congress are in their home districts during the August recess, don’t miss the opportunity to let them know about your valuable service to your community.
The recess period is a perfect time to speak to your legislators about issues affecting broadcasters.
AM radio: Use NAB's AM Radio Toolkit and air spots while your legislators are home.
Big Tech: Our Big Tech Toolkit provides talking points on the threat tech giants pose to local broadcasters.
📣 Get started: Visit nab.org/SpeakUp for tips and tools on communicating your station’s vital service to your legislators.
2. FCC EAS ETRS Form One Due by October 4
The FCC has opened the filing window for EAS Test Reporting System (ETRS) Form One and directed all EAS Participants to submit the form by October 4, 2024.
What’s happening: The filing of ETRS Form One is an annual requirement and not necessarily connected to a nationwide test of the EAS system. Form One collects up to date identifying and background information regarding EAS Participants, such as a broadcast station’s EAS designation, EAS monitoring assignments, current EAS equipment software version, facility location, equipment type and contact information.
The information allows the FCC to maintain current information about the role and functionality of EAS Participants during EAS tests and emergencies.
