The Association of Public Television Stations urged the FCC Media Bureau to rescind the proposed $20,000 fine on Maryland Public Television. The bureau alleged that MPT failed to comply with elements of the FCC’s equal employment opportunity (EEO) rules and it provided incorrect factual information to the FCC on MPT’s EEO program, APTS said in a filing (http://bit.ly/1ghvk5U). MPT has shown “that it takes its EEO obligations very seriously, and that it has for decades implemented an effective EEO program that includes a diverse complement of recruiting sources and outreach efforts,” APTS said.
