The FCC has formally announced that its new contest rules have
become effective, as they now have been approved by the Office of
Management and Budget and published in the Federal Register. The
new rules enable licensees to post material contest terms on-line
rather than announcing them on-air.
As we had outlined in our advisory of September 18, licensees
must still disclose all material terms of contests and must make a
reasonable number of periodic announcements of a
publically-available website address where the rules can be viewed.
Rather than use the new option, licensees may continue to announce
the material contest terms on-air, as in the past.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
