Full power commercial and noncommercial radio stations and LPFM stations licensed to communities in Illinois and Wisconsin must begin airing pre-filing license renewal announcements on June 1, 2012. License renewal applications for these stations, and for in-state FM translator stations, are due by August 1, 2012.
Pre-Filing License Renewal Announcements
Full power commercial and noncommercial radio, LPFM, and FM Translator stations whose communities of license are located in Illinois and Wisconsin must file their license renewal applications with the FCC by August 1, 2012.
Beginning two months prior to that filing, however, full power commercial and noncommercial radio and LPFM stations must air four pre-filing announcements alerting the public to the upcoming license renewal application filing. As a result, these radio stations must air the first pre-filing renewal announcement on
June 1. The remaining pre-filing announcements must air once a day on June 16, July 1, and July 16, for a total of four announcements. At least two of these four announcements must air between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and/or 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
