ORDER
Adopted: November 12, 2013 Released: November 14, 2013
By the Chief, Media Bureau: 
1. In this Order, we adopt the attached Consent Decree entered into between the Media Bureau 
(the “Bureau”) of the Federal Communications Commission (the “Commission”) and Josie Park 
Broadcasting Inc. (the “Licensee”), licensee of WIYC(TV), Troy Alabama (the “Station”).  Currently 
pending before the Commission is an application for renewal of the license (FCC Form 303-S) of the 
Station and an application for consent to assign (FCC Form 314) the license of the Station to WIYC, Inc.  
Upon review of the Station’s public file, the Video Division discovered numerous violations of Section 
73.3526 of the Commission’s Rules including the failure to file with the Commission in a timely manner 
Children’s Television Programming Reports (FCC Form 398) for four quarters,1 and failure to maintain, 
prepare and place in a timely manner nine issues and programs lists into the Station’s public file.2  
2. The Bureau and the Licensee have negotiated the terms of the Consent Decree that 
concludes the above-referenced matters.   After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and 
evaluating the facts before us, we find that the public interest would be served by adopting the Consent 
Decree.  A copy of the Consent Decree is attached and incorporated by reference.  
3. In the absence of new material evidence relating to this matter, we conclude that the matters 
referenced above raise no substantial or material questions of fact as to whether the Licensee possesses 
the basic qualifications to hold a Commission license and that grant of the above-captioned pending 
license renewal application is consistent with Section 309(k) of the Communications of 1934 (the 
“Act”).3 We have further examined the pending above-captioned assignment application and find that 
  
1 47 C.F.R. § 73.3526(e)(11)(i).  Within the current license period, the Station failed to file Children’s Programming 
Reports in a timely manner for third quarter 2009; fourth quarter 2009; first quarter 2011 and first quarter 2013.
2 47 C.F.R. §§ 73.3526(b)(2) and 73.3526(e)(11)(iii).  Within the current license period the Station failed to properly 
maintain, prepare and place in a timely manner issues and programs lists into the Station’s public file for all quarters 
in 2008; first quarter 2009; and all quarters in 2010.  
3 Section 309(k)(1) of the Act states that the Commission shall grant a license renewal application “if it finds, with 
respect to that station, during the preceding term of its license—(a) the station has served the public interest, 
convenience, and necessity; (b) there have been no serious violations by the licensee of the Act or Commission rules 
and regulations; and (c) there have been no other violations by the licensee of the Act or Commission rules or 
regulations which, taken together, would constitute a pattern of abuse.”  47 U.S.C. §309(k)(1).  Section 309(k) of the 
Act states, however, that if the licensee fails to meet this three part standard, the Commission may deny the

II.     DISCUSSION
3. On November 29, 2012, Josie Park Broadcasting filed its license renewal application (FCC 
Form 303-S) for the Station with the Commission.  In the process of evaluating the license renewal 
application, the Bureau identified numerous potential violations of the Commission’s Public File Rules.  
4. Section 73.3526 of the Rules requires each commercial broadcast licensee to maintain a 
public inspection file containing specific types of information related to station operations.  Subsection 
73.3526(e)(11)(i) of the Rules requires every commercial television licensee to place in its public 
inspection file, on a quarterly basis, an issues and programs list “with regard to the station’s efforts to 
determine the issues facing its community and the pogromming aired during the preceding three month 
period in response to those issues.”1  Copies of the issues and programs list must be “retained in the 
public inspection file until final action has been taken on the station’s next license renewal application.”2  
Pursuant to subsection 73.3526(b)(2) of the Rules, a station’s issues and programs lists must be uploaded  
to a Commission-hosted website.3 During the current license period, Josie Park Broadcasting failed to 
comply with both of the aforementioned rules related to the preparation, maintenance and filing of 
quarterly issues and programs lists on nine separate occasions, including all quarters in 2008, first quarter 
2009 and all quarters in 2010.    
5. Subsection 73.3526(e)(11)(iii) of the Rules requires each commercial television licensee to 
prepare and place in its public inspection file a Children’s Television Programming Report (FCC Form 
398) for each calendar quarter reflecting, inter alia, the efforts that it made during the quarter to serve the 
educational and informational needs of children.  That subsection also requires licensees to place the 
reports in the public file, and file the reports with the Commission by the tenth day after the close of the 
reporting quarter.4 During the current license period, Josie Park Broadcasting failed to file in a timely 
manner Children’s Television Programming Reports (FCC Form 398) during four quarters, which include 
third quarter 2009; fourth quarter 2009; first quarter 2011 and first quarter 2013.
