Broadcast Station Operator Requirements

The Commission proposes to amend its broadcast station rules primarily to waive the requirement that broadcast stations be supervised only by FCC-licensed duty operators. Also, a number of changes are proposed in the rules relating to station control to permit licensees to operate their stations in a completely automated, unattended mode if appropriate transmission equipment is used, thus allowing licensees significant operational cost savings. This action is necessary to update broadcast operational rules to more accurately reflect the capabilities of current transmitter monitoring and control technology.
