[BC] Re: How A Station Can Stay Afloat...

[Harold Hallikainen]

There are several rules that affect station staffing. They are:

http://sujan.hallikainen.org/FCC/FccRules/2007/73/3526/ requires the PIF
to be accessible during normal business hours.

http://sujan.hallikainen.org/FCC/FccRules/2007/73/1125/ regarding main
studio location does not directly address staffing, but based on the Jones
Eastern decision, has been interpreted to mandate minimum staffing
requirements.

http://www.hallikainen.com/FccRules/2007/73/1350/
http://www.hallikainen.com/FccRules/2007/73/1400/ deal with transmitter
supervision and an allowance for unattended operation.

Good luck!
