Picture this: 15 groups of mutually exclusive applications for new noncommercial educational FM radio station permits are in need of resolution. To do so, the Audio Division of the FCC’s Media Bureau engaged in comparative consideration of the applications. Specifically, it engaged in a “threshold fair distribution analysis” — a process that gives Al Shuldiner, the division chief, delegated authority on identifying the tentative (and suggested) selectee in each group.
That analysis has now concluded, and anyone that doesn’t like the results has within 30 days of March 9 to file a Petition to Deny with the FCC.
