FCC Regulations for Public Media Sponsorship

Understand the federal laws that regulate your sponsorship messages

Take the guesswork out of copy approval with a strong understanding of how the FCC regulates public media underwriting.

One of the most noticeable differences between public and commercial media is that our sponsorship messages are not advertisements. This is required by law and compliance with this law is regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Make sure your sponsorship copy is FCC-compliant by understanding federal guidelines and knowing how to respond to common copy questions from underwriting clients.
