CDBS ENDS WITH THE YEAR

$29K FOR PUBLIC FILE VIOLATIONS
The FCC is getting more and more picky when the Online Public Information File is not kept up properly. The KHQ Inc. TV stations in Washington state (KHQ, KNDO, KNDU) reached a Consent Decree and Order to pay $29,000 for failure to upload files and misrepresenting that to the FCC.

A WAY TO MAKE THINGS EASIER
In the old days, any time something came up that was not envisioned by the equipment on hand, engineers often had to design and/or fabricate peripherals to take care of some simple needs.

In recent years, Henry Engineering has built and sold any number of things that have found their way into radio stations everywhere. Hank Landsberg, the man behind Henry Engineering, is our special guest this week to talk about a new product and how his lines can improve your life, by making things easier.
