FCC Extends Sponsorship ID Waiver for Sponsored COVID-19 PSAs
by FHH Law from CommLawBlog on (#5534W)
The Media Bureau today extended the waiver it enacted in April to alleviate broadcast sponsorship identification requirements concerning air time donated by commercial advertisers for public service announcements (PSAs") provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC") and other government agencies addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. Pursuant to this extension, commercial time donated for COVID-19 PSAs will not be required to be accompanied by a sponsorship ID through August 31, 2020.
