ORDER
Adopted:  August 6, 2015 Released:  August 6, 2015
By the Chief, Media Bureau:
1. Pursuant to the Commission’s rules, all full-power AM, FM, TV, LPTV, and Class A 
stations, and entities with attributable interests in such stations currently are required to file the next 
biennial ownership report on FCC Form 323 no later than November 2, 2015, using information current 
as of October 1, 2015 (the “as of” date).
1
  
2. On its own motion, the Media Bureau hereby extends the November 2, 2015 filing 
deadline until December 2, 2015.  The filing should still include information current as of October 1, 
2015.  For the 2015 biennial filing, the Bureau is providing filers with an additional 30 days between the 
“as of” date and the filing deadline to ensure adequate time to prepare the form.  We are aware that some 
licensees and parent entities of multiple stations may be required to file numerous forms, and the extra 
time is intended to permit adequate time to prepare such filings.  We believe it is in the public interest to 
provide additional time to ensure that all filers provide the Commission with accurate and reliable data.  
3. Filers are encouraged to complete and submit their Form 323 filings as early as possible 
and well in advance of the extended deadline.  This extension applies only to the 2015 biennial filing.  
4. Filers seeking advice on how to complete the form should consult the form’s instructions 
(available on CDBS and on the Commission’s website at http://www.fcc.gov/formpage.html) and the 
information on the Bureau’s Form 323 website, https://www.fcc.gov/guides/ownership-report-
commercial-broadcast-station-form-323. Filers are encouraged to review the “Frequently Asked 
Questions” (FAQ) and the list of “The Most Common Form 323 Filing Errors” posted on the Form 323 
website, and to check for updates to the filing advice.  For additional advice on completing Form 323, 
please contact the Bureau via e-mail at Form323@fcc.gov.
5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that pursuant to authority under Sections 4(i) and 303(r) 
of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154 and 303(r), and pursuant to authority 
delegated to the Media Bureau pursuant to Sections 0.204 and 0.283 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. 
§§ 0.204, 0.283, the filing deadline as described above IS EXTENDED, sua sponte.

47 C.F.R. § 73.3615(a).  Because the November 1 biennial filing deadline falls on a Sunday this year, filers 
currently are required to submit their 2015 biennial ownership reports by the next business day, November 2, 2015.
