5 Underwriting Controversies Saturday 11th of November 2006 08:58:46 PM5 Underwriting Controversies In a presentation to the 1999 National Public Radio Conference in Washington, DC, Kenneth M. Scheibel, Jr., Senior Attorney Advisor in the Mass Media Bureau?s Enforcement Division, answered some common questions regarding underwriting "do's" and "don'ts"? Below is a brief summary of his replies. The full text of the presentation is available online. 1. How should a station respond when an underwriter wants to include the name of its sponsor in the underwriting announcement as well? In other words, is saying "this programming is brought to you by Acme Theater, presenting 'Romeo and Juliet'? Production underwritten by Star Computing" the same as saying "this program is brought to you by Acme Western Wear, offering Wrangler, Lee and Dakota jeans"? The Acme Western Wear example would be appropriate to air, as it only identifies a product or service provided by the sponsor. In the case of the Acme Theater sponsorship, it is not appropriate to mention another entity (Star Computing) unless that entity is also a sponsor of the program. If Star Computing provided financial support for Acme Theater but not the educational/public broadcaster, then they should not be mentioned in the underwriting spot. 2. Can you legally turn away an underwriter? Under Section 3(10) of the Communications Act, broadcasters are not considered common carriers, and, therefore, need not provide universal access. It is the up to the discretion of the broadcasters which programming to accept or decline. 3. Is there specific language that must be included in underwriting acknowledgements? Section 73.1212 of the Communications Act requires a nonprofit station must indicate the person or entity that provided the support for a program. The announcement must be made at the time the program is aired. Stations are required to "exercise full diligence" to fully and fairly disclose the true identity of the person, corporation, or association providing support for the programming. The Commission and the courts have interpreted this to mean that stations may rely on "plausible assurances" that the person paying for the time is the true sponsor unless otherwise provided with credible, irrefutable evidence to the contrary. 4. Should non-profits and for-profits be treated the same in terms of the wording of announcements? For-profit organizations who provide support for educational and public broadcasters may receive on-air acknowledgement of their contribution. This acknowledgement should be for identification purposes only and not promote the contributor's products or services. These restrictions do not apply to non-profit supporters. Educational and public broadcasters may air announcements that promote their own activities or those of other non-profit organizations. 5. What's the definitive answer on whether a financial institution can list credit card or CD or mortgage loan interest rates? Underwriting may not contain reference to specific price information, interest or loan rates, available discounts, or products or services offered at "cost"or for free.

Randall is to be commended for the effort expended to not only create this list, but to maintain it as well! He has been doing this for years! Now that is dedication! For TV program sources, including satellite delivery, see the CBI resource. Here is the introduction Randall sent via email... I make no claim as to the quality or content of the programs on the list. Feel free to forward the list to others who may be interested. Please let me know if you are carrying or producing a program I could add, or if you spot any errors on the lists. The requirements are that program be on-going, be legal for non-commercial broadcast in the U.S. (i.e, they cannot contain commercials and underwriting must conform to FCC standards), and be available somehow to stations that do not have satellite equipment. I also have information available separately on non-NPR satellite services for non-commercial stations and news "wire" services other than the easy- to-find AP. Send me an e-mail and I'll send those your way. (davidson@wpr.org) Thanks.

CBI NEWS
CBI's First International Member Joins in April, 2008 CBI welcomes its first international student station member, Radio Fusion of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Radio Fusion has Bradley Freeman as its station advisor and has joined CBI for a three-year membership beginning in April, 2008. Radio Fusion is the first international station outside North American to join CBI since its inception in the late 1990's. Radio Fusion is a commercial, campus intranet station and operates during NTU's academic year only. Please congratulate CBI's newest member from abroad by going to rfusion@gmail.com or by visiting its web site at http://radio.ntu.edu.sg. Welcome Radio Fusion!!! CBI Changes Name to COLLEGE BROADCASTERS, INC. Collegiate Broadcasters, Inc. has officially changed its name to COLLEGE Broadcasters, Inc. The organization received permission from the State of Delaware to make the changes during the spring of 2008 after petitioning for the change last year. CBI is registered as a not-for-profit organization in Delaware. Warren Kozireski, chair of the Board of Directors, stated that the change will streamline the name brand of the organization as well as eliminate some confusion during web searches by people wanting to find out information about us. The acronym, CBI, remains unchanged. The CBI Board initially passed the motion for changing the name during an early fall 2007 meeting. The name change had been on the Board's agenda for over a year prior to approval for change.
