FCC: Radio Broadcasters Shouldn't Pay Reg Fees Yet

AM and FM broadcasters shouldn’t make FY 2024 regulatory fee payments into the FCC’s commission registration system (CORES) due to an issue with the way the system classifies stations, according to an FCC spokesperson and a disclaimer posted in CORES. “The FCC is continuing to do its due diligence to reevaluate the population count information for AM and FM broadcasters for FY 2024 regulatory fees,” the spokesperson said. “We expect to have this situation resolved early next week.” Regulatory fees are due Sept. 26.
