Regulatory fees
Article Abstract:
The FCC has revised its 1997 regulatory fees schedule applicable to radio stations. The stations are grouped according to coverage markets, rather than by license class as in the past. This change means that the stations covering the largest areas will pay more in fees than smaller market stations, since population differences become the basis for determining fees. Improperly classified stations can appeal to the FCC for fee reductions. A list of fee categories is included. A list of TV stations' fees is also included, although these stations have not been reclassified.
