Background
"Section 309(k) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Section 309(k), states that the Commission shall grant a license renewal application if it finds, with respect to that station, during the preceding license term, that: (1) the station has served the public interest, convenience, and necessity; (2) there have been no serious violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or the Commission’s Rules; and (3) there have been no other violations of the Act or the Commission’s rules which, taken together, would constitute a pattern of abuse. This question asks the applicant to certify that, with respect to the station for which a renewal application is being submitted, there were no violations of the Communications Act or the Commission’s Rules. If the renewal applicant has violated the Act or the rules, it must respond 'No' and submit an explanatory exhibit detailing the number and nature of the violations and the Commission adjudication."
