Time brokerage agreements

Article Abstract:

Broadcasters whose time is being brokered by another station should ensure that they still maintain control over their programming, finances and personnel decisions. Moreover, they should also reevaluate their Time Brokerage Agreement to determine if it specifically provides that control of the station shall reside in the licensee. Failure to retain control may be construed as a violation of the Communications Act's provisions on unauthorized transfer of control.

These operators are not required to have an FCC license and may serve the stations on a contractual basis. However, operators of stations operating on more than 10Kw power and using a directional antenna must be a full-time employee.
