[BC] Public File now must include Articles of Inc. and Bylaws

[Mike McCarthy]

A counsel I have spoken with and trust has suggested to include them 
unless there is a specific reason to not and have the ability to back up
the decision. It's never been an issue before and his comment was the NoAL
was "inluenced by stupidity".

He too believes the station stands a decent chance at prevailing on an
appeal. This is one of those "I don't care how much it costs, I stand on
principal" issues which it will cost more to prevail than to admit guilt
and pay the fine should they choose to fight it.

We'll see.

DISCLAIMER: Licensees should NEVER rely solely on the information gained
from a list. Obtain a directed opinion by your own counsel.
