Last month we reported on a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) aimed at dragging the on-air contest rule (i.e., Section 73.1216) into the 21st Century. The NPRM has now made it into the Federal Register, which means that we now know the deadlines for filing comments and reply comments in response to the FCC’s proposal. Comments are due by February 17, 2015, and replies are due by March 19. Comments and replies may be filed electronically through the FCC’s ECFS filing site; refer to Proceeding No. 14-226.
