WASHINGTON, D.C.—The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has filed comments with the FCC regarding the commission’s order to reinstate the collection of radio and television stations’ workforce composition data on FCC Form 395-B. The filing says that the NAB “does not oppose reinstatement of the form” but seeks “reconsideration of the FCC’s decision in the Fourth Report and Order to make the Form 395-B data publicly available on a station-specific basis.”
The FCC noted in the Fourth Report and Order that reinstating Form 395-B would help it better track diversity in the broadcast industry. The rules went into effect on June 3 but the NAB and others have asked the FCC to reconsider the decision.
