Religious
Broadcasters May Face New FCC Rules
We need your help right now - and it won’t cost you a penny.
The FCC is proposing a slew of new regulations that would make radio stations
jump through many regulation hoops – including filing new extensive paperwork,
reporting song playlists and paying for staff members to remain at the station
during all hours of operation. Some stations may even be forced to move their
studio location.
Besides
the expense and man power to complete these extra burdens, Christian radio
operators are concerned about plans for the federal government to mandate
certain types of programming. There is uncertainty about just how far this could
go. The National Religious Broadcasters says the proposal has the potential to
“strangle” Christian media. The FCC wants stations to answer to Community
Advisory Boards who could wind up changing the programming that you hear on
radio stations.
Most
troublesome of all, the new rules could be a back door for Congress to
re-introduce what's called the Fairness Doctrine. That’s the old FCC rule that
forced broadcasters to air “both sides” of controversial issues. It would
mean Christian stations would have to air the views of people who are AGAINST
what we believe.
Fortunately,
the FCC is required to have a period of public comment before proceeding.
We’re in that time right now. So here’s what we’re asking our listeners to
do. Go to this FCC page:
http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi
Fill
in the contact information but leave the law firm and attorney fields blank.
Put this number into Box One: 04-233.
That way the FCC will know you want to give your opinion about what it calls
"localism". In the comment section, explain in just a few words that
you are against these new regulations.
Or
write a regular letter to:
Federal Communications Commission
Washington
You can also write to your Senators and members of Congress.
Take a stand with us against government intrusion into Christian programming.
And thank you in advance for your help!
