Abstract: On August 15, 2007, the FCC adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Amendment of Service and Eligibility Rules for FM Broadcast Translator Stations, MB Docket 07-172, FCC 07-144. The proposed rule changes would allow AM stations to use FM translator stations to rebroadcast the AM signal locally. 47 CFR 73.1207 requires that licensees of broadcast stations obtain written permission from an originating station prior to retransmitting any program or any part thereof. A copy of the written consent must be kept in the station's files and made available to the FCC upon request. Section 73.1207 also specifies procedures that broadcast stations must follow when rebroadcasting time signals, weather bulletins, or other material from non-broadcast services. 47 CFR 73.1207 requires that licensees of broadcast stations obtain written permission from the originating station prior to retransmitting any program or any part thereof. A copy of the written consent must be kept in the stations's files and made available to the FCC upon request. 47 CFR Section 74,784 requires licensees of low power television and TV translator stations to notify the FCC when rebroadcasting programs or signals or another station and to certify that written consent has been obtained from originating station. The FCC staff use the data to ensure compliance with Section 325(a) of the Communications Act, as amended. 47 CFR Section 74.1284 requires that the licensee of a FM translator station obtain prior consent to rebroadcast programs of any FM broadcast station or other FM translator. The licensee must notify the Commission of the call letters of each station rebroadcast and must certify that written consent has been received from the licensees of that station.
