On April 24, 2023, the Enforcement Bureau issued the first of its Equal Employment
Opportunity (EEO) audit letters for 2023 to randomly selected radio and television stations.
The Enforcement Bureau annually audits the EEO programs of randomly selected broadcast licensees. Each year, approximately five percent of all radio and television stations are selected for EEO audits.
The following New York stations have been included in the random audit:
WCWN DTV SCHENECTADY
WGRZ DTV BUFFALO
WICZ-TV DTV BINGHAMTON
WNYO-TV DTV BUFFALO
WNYT DTV ALBANY
WPBS-TV DTV WATERTOWN
WPTZ DTV PLATTSBURGH
WRGB DTV SCHENECTADY
WSYT DTV SYRACUSE
WUTR DTV UTICA
WWNY-TV DTV CARTHAGE
The deadline for stations to upload responses to their FCC-hosted online public inspection files is
June 8, 2023. As a reminder, the Enforcement Bureau will no longer issue letters to licensees upon
completion of our review of audit responses. If questions arise during staff review, the
FCC’s Enforcement Bureau will contact the licensee.
If your station is being audited, you should have received a letter directly from the Commission. In any case, you may want to review the FCC’s Notice to make sure you are not on the audit list.
