FCC to enforce sanctions for recruitment violations

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that it will begin enforcing sanctions against broadcasters and other licensees that violate the FCC’s rules on recruiting—specifically, the prohibition on using public‑airwaves personnel or resources to solicit employees, contractors, or volunteers for private‑sector or political campaigns. Violations can result in fines, license revocation, or other disciplinary actions. The move aims to protect the integrity of the public‑interest obligations of broadcasters and ensure that recruitment activities do not exploit the FCC‑regulated spectrum. Views Nigeria
