FCC COMMENCES 2009 EEO AUDITS
On March 23, 2009, the Federal Communications Commission mailed the first of its Equal 
Employment Opportunity (EEO) audit letters for 2009 to randomly selected radio and television 
stations.  In accordance with the provisions of Sections 73.2080(f)(4) and 76.77(d) of the 
Commission’s EEO rules, the FCC annually audits the EEO programs of randomly selected 
broadcast licensees and multi-channel video programming distributors (MVPDs).  Each year, 
approximately five percent of all radio and television stations and MVPDs are selected for these 
EEO audits.
A list of the radio and television stations to which the audit letters were sent is attached, as well 
as the text of the March 23, 2009 audit letter.  The list and the letter can also be viewed by 
accessing the Media Bureau’s EEO page on the FCC website at 
http://www.fcc.gov/mb/policy/eeo.  
For stations that have a website and five or more full-time employees:  
We remind you that you must post your most recent EEO public file report on your website by 
the deadline by which it must be created, in accordance with 47 C.F.R. § 73.2080(c)(6).  This 
will be examined as part of the audit.  Failure to post the required report on a station website is a 
violation of the EEO Rule and subject to sanctions, including a forfeiture.
