On July 17, 2012, the FCC will conduct a public demonstration of the database it has developed to host the online public inspection file for television broadcast stations. The FCC will demonstrate the interface to be used by stations to file documents required to be placed in the online database.
The database has been developed in connection with the FCC’s recent Order requiring television broadcast stations to post their public inspection files online in a central, Commission-hosted database. These rules go into effect August 2, 2012.2 The demonstration is part of the commitment made by the Commission to test the online public file and educate the public regarding its use. The demonstration will inform broadcasters and others of the design and content of the online file, how stations will upload information to the file, how file sharing tools like Dropbox and Box can be used for uploading, and other ways in which the FCC is working to facilitate access to its public databases.
