FCC investigates Comcast over their DEI initiatives. Disney also dials back on DEI programs. The REC Networks Digital Equity Policy Objective Radio licensee entered into $8K consent decree for failing to report an involuntary transfer. New DOGE website gives some quick stats of FCC employees and regulations.
REC has made a major enhancement to FCCdata to preserve the public notice comments of older broadcast applications. Clicking on the blue triangle to the left of the file number will show the CDBS Public Notice comments which may have significant history regarding station ownership and engineering, especially for records between 1978~1999.
