Third Thursday - All Things ABIP
A Deep Dive into the Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program
On the third Thursday of each month, the NJBA presents webinars on various subjects in cooperation with the Michigan Association of Broadcasters
"All Things ABIP: A Deep Dive into the Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program"
with Larry Wilkins, Director of Engineering Services, Alabama Broadcasters Association
The Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program (ABIP) was created several years ago as a joint project between the FCC and State Broadcasters Associations. An ABIP inspector will visit your station to review various items to aid the station in becoming and maintaining compliance with the latest FCC Rules and Regulations. In this session we will cover each of the items that the alternative inspector will be looking at and offer advice on correcting any areas that need attention.
