FCC Commences 2009 EEO Audits

The Federal Communications Commission annually audits the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) programs of randomly selected broadcast licensees and multi-channel video programming distributors (MVPDs). Each year, approximately five percent of all radio and television stations and MVPDs are selected for these EEO audits. On March 23, 2009, the FCC mailed the first of its EEO audit letters for 2009.
