FCC order aims to eliminate rule inconsistencies and drop outdated ones

Here is an update to a story we’ve been following for you: The updated technical rules for U.S. radio broadcasters take effect April 18.

As reported earlier, the Federal Communications Commission in February released a report and order with the goal of streamlining and eliminating rules that it found redundant, outdated or conflicting.

That order now has been published in the Federal Register, so the rules officially kick in April 18.

The changes are described more fully in the article “FCC Finalizes Changes to Tech Rules.”
