Dear BRIGHT-FM listeners,
I want to take a moment to reaffirm our position on political advertising. Over the coming days and weeks, you may hear political advertising airing on BRIGHT-FM featuring candidates vying for federal office.
It’s crucial for us to emphasize our unwavering dedication to impartiality in political matters. Federal regulations mandate that all commercially licensed radio and television stations allocate airtime for federal election advertising. However, it’s important to clarify that this allocation does not imply our endorsement of any particular political candidate or party.
Furthermore, it’s worth noting that commercially licensed television and radio stations are not required to broadcast advertising for local elections or political advocacy. We do not do so as a matter of policy.
We appreciate your understanding and ongoing support.
Sincerely,
Steve Lawhon
General Manager, BRIGHT-FM
