STATION ADVISORY

Bought A Station? Update Tower Registration

Among the many things broadcasters need to remember when they buy a  station is making sure that the tower registration (Antenna Structure Registration or ASR) is transferred along with the rest of the station assets. Unlike most filings done at closing, the issue is not one of establishing the rights or title to any tower assets. Instead, the registration is to let the FCC know who is responsible for that tower in the event the FCC needs to get in touch with the owner to deal with tower lighting or fencing issues or similar matters.
