Contract filing requirements
Article Abstract:
The FCC requires stations to file network affiliations agreements and other operational contracts such as shareholders' agreements or loan documents. However, trust agreements covering owners' stock assets do not need to be filed, but a summary may be needed by the FCC. Voter proxies, consultant agreements, and other station management contracts should be on file. Time brokerage agreements, bulk time sales, subcarrier leases, local marketing agreements, and chief operator contracts should be kept available for FCC inspection. A list of contracts exempted from these requirements is also included.

Filing of contracts
Article Abstract:
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is concerned basically with three kinds of contracts: television network affiliation contracts, contracts related to the ownership of the station and other personnel contracts. It is not essential to file security agreements with the FCC except under certain special circumstances. Other questions related to contracts put up by the General Manager of a radio station have been answered.

Employee contracts
Article Abstract:
Broadcast stations may want to use noncompetition agreements, first refusal rights clauses, and pay/no play clauses as self-protection in employee contracts. Clauses covering public morals, non-assignment, exclusivity, and confidentiality are also useful. Station contracts can also cover areas such as air shift changes, employee work product, bonuses, and commissions.
