FCC Grants Noncommercial Waivers for Sandy Fundraising

The Federal Communications Commission says it has granted two waiver requests to allow noncommercial stations to raise funds for Superstorm Sandy relief, and wants to make sure other stations who may want to follow suit know the procedures for applying for those waivers. Requests should include "the proposed duration of the fundraising effort; the organization(s) to which funds will be donated; and whether the fundraiser will be part of the licensee's regularly scheduled pledge drive or fundraising effort."
