Radio News: Main Studio Rules ends Jan. 8

Dec 12, 2017 10:50 pm
The Communications Law blog reports that it is official. AM, FM, and broadcast television stations no longer have to have a studio in the area where they broadcast, as of Jan. 8, 2018. In October the Federal Communications Commission voted to eliminate the Main Studio Rule, saying listeners and viewers could now contact broadcasters through the internet. The FCC did not address the fact that, without studios, there might be no programming originating from the area. So beginning Monday, Jan. 8, 2018, expect less local programming and fewer broadcasting jobs around the country, as more content is beamed in from elsewhere.
