Louisiana TV Station Admonished for Ad Sales Language Omission

The FCC Media Bureau admonished Legacy Broadcasting's KMLU Columbia, Louisiana, for failing to include nondiscriminatory language in its advertising sales agreements. In a letter to Legacy dated Wednesday, the bureau said there's no evidence the station or the Greenwood, Mississippi, licensee engaged in discriminatory behavior in ad sales, so the lack of nondiscrimination clauses doesn't warrant a fine. However, failure to include such language in future ad agreements could result in fines, it added.
