Bring station facts together, prepare political, issues/programs, EEO and NCE records, assign follow-up work and keep the evidence. Built around your Radio Workflow account and FCC public file checks.
Generated, upload recorded and observed in the public file are different evidence states. An incomplete scan stays incomplete.
Bring preparation, source evidence, recurring reviews and follow-up into the same workspace. Start with your station profile so the work reflects its service, employment unit and known circumstances.
Choose a workflow, then sign in with an eligible Radio Workflow account to continue there.
Review political hints and search other orders without excluding them. Bring in available schedules, rates, airings, makegoods and credits. Add candidate, sponsor and request details, or record a request without an order. Generate a versioned PDF and confirm the exact file you uploaded.
Compare rate evidence supplied by Radio Workflow by class of time, daypart and length, alongside election windows. Staff assess eligibility, comparable terms, packages and credits. The lowest observed rate alone is not a legal lowest unit charge determination.
Gather programming evidence and research from feeds and extractors. Review significant community issues and confirm the programs, dates, times and durations that addressed them. A research item or a voiced story is never treated as proof it aired. Applicability depends on the station's service and facts.
Prepare annual reports for covered employment units from vacancies, recruitment sources, interview data and outreach activities. Keep the annual report separate from the unit's longer-term outreach obligations. Staff confirm the unit, reporting period and supporting evidence.
Prepare the actual sponsor's leadership list for covered political or controversial-issue broadcasts. Keep supporting research private, review the public names and broadcast references, and record where an exact generated version was made available. Earlier versions and corrections remain in the history.
Keep each arrangement's inquiries, responses and exact supporting document versions together. Record separate effort and source reviews, preserve unresolved answers, review renewal reuse from the original inquiry date, and download a private evidence index in complete numbered parts. Public disclosures and actual broadcasts remain separate work.
Prepare dated program donor entries during the quarter and quarterly third-party fundraising records for one selected stream. Enter actual activity, keep private source and authority notes separate, review the public fields and retain every generated PDF. Incomplete records remain drafts.
Keep actual disclosure wording, broadcast times and quarterly inventory for each station stream. Review the public fields, prepare exact public copies or associate a reviewed external document, and track submission, availability and later readback separately. Corrections preserve the earlier record, and private diligence stays private.
Keep ownership reports, agreements and certifications with the relevant station. See the retention rule and any known date, with a review prompt when an agreement end or FCC action must be confirmed.
Review the last eight due quarters of issues and programs lists and two annual EEO reports using FCC file metadata. Known political requests prompt a folder review throughout the year. A scan shows its coverage and any parts it could not read.
Track quarterly lists, annual EEO reports, political windows and license renewals using station details. See what a task needs before recording it complete. Special FCC notices and station-specific obligations still need staff review.
Unambiguous call-sign and band matches can be linked automatically. Review uncertain matches, station facts and FCC facility details before relying on a scan. Translators and other services are handled according to their public file requirements.
Work through guided station questions and a source-linked catalogue covering ownership, sponsorship, website access and more. Record applicability, evidence and who handles each duty. Changed profiles prompt fresh review; choosing an adviser or integration does not complete the obligation.
Enable daily review, inspect dated findings and optionally prepare drafts from retained station records. The agent coordinates public file checks and identifies work for staff. It shows unavailable sources and limited coverage instead of declaring the station compliant.
Connect compatible tools to the published app workflows, including records, requirements, reviews, NCE preparation, work items and private backup downloads. Choose all app actions or specific permissions. Expiring, revocable keys and the same domain checks govern each operation.
Turn a finding or actual station notice into assigned work. Website, application-notice and selected-audit guides help staff collect the right evidence. Set an internal target and record the outcome. Changed finding evidence brings resolved work back for review.
Save retained political, disclosure and rate PDFs in ZIP parts with an inventory, hashes and collection instructions. Review missing and separately downloadable files, then save the package outside the app. Private drafts are included; this is preparation for a station backup, not a complete FCC mirror.
Confirm your stations and review the orders, rates, available airing records, programming and research supplied by Radio Workflow. Missing or unavailable data is shown for review. Compliance does not change your traffic or billing records.
Enter requests without an order, verified program airings, EEO activity, NCE donor or fundraising records and supporting documents. Guided questions help identify applicability and the follow-up that needs an owner.
Generate a PDF for station review and keep every version. Staff perform any required FCC upload. Record the exact upload in supported filing workflows, or retain the receipt with the station's evidence. Assign unfinished work and keep private backups current.
Capture the request and its disposition, including requests that never become an order. Bring in the available order evidence, add the required station facts and prepare the initial disclosure. Revisit the record when airings, charges or credits change.
A versioned record and a filing step staff can verify.
Record a request without an orderReview significant community issues, then connect them to programs that actually aired. Feeds and extractors help find research; staff confirm broadcast dates, times, durations and the treatment of each issue before generating the list.
A reviewable report built from identified evidence.
Prepare an issues/programs listConfirm facility matches, review station circumstances and inspect recurring findings. Confirmed HD aliases share their parent facility's public file while programming evidence keeps its actual stream. Changed station facts need fresh review; unavailable FCC sources stay visible.
One workspace with station-specific evidence and follow-up.
Review stations and facility matchesPrepare dated donor entries for programs already broadcast during the current quarter. Record actual third-party fundraising events for the quarterly report. Keep private notes separate from public fields. Incomplete records remain drafts; quarterly fundraising and whole-quarter no-activity exports stay drafts until the quarter ends.
A preparation record with the stream and review work made explicit.
Prepare NCE recordsDownload the retained political PDFs and their inventory in ZIP parts. Save every part and any separately listed files outside the app, then add records held elsewhere. Keep private drafts and rate worksheets separate from material approved for public inspection.
A private working backup and a list of what still needs collecting.
Prepare a political backupStart from what staff actually observed or an FCC notice that identifies the station. Use the website, application notice or selected EEO audit guide, assign a workspace member, set an internal target and retain the outcome. Staff arrange any needed notification.
Follow-up with source evidence, an owner and a dated history.
Choose a station work guideChoose a guide, then a station. The prompts help you record actual observations or notices; source dates and completion evidence stay blank until staff supply them.
Daily reviews and connected tools reduce repeat work. Review results retain their sources and limits, so a failed read or an unanswered question cannot quietly become a completed filing.
A prepared document, a station's upload confirmation and a dated FCC observation each answer a different question. Keep those distinctions visible throughout the work.
Sign in with your Radio Workflow account, confirm the stations and FCC matches, and review the station facts. Then inspect the requirements and existing public file evidence before deciding which documents need work. A missing local record does not prove a filing is missing at the FCC.
It reads FCC folder and file metadata for selected checks, including recent due issues/programs periods and annual EEO reports. It can identify likely evidence and gaps, but does not read every document's contents or certify that every obligation has been met. Partial reads, errors and coverage limits remain visible.
No. Staff perform the actual required filing or public placement. Political, issues/programs and EEO records let staff confirm the exact generated version and upload date. Sponsor leadership records also capture the reviewed inspection destination and exact-file placement evidence. For NCE preparation, retain the exact file and upload evidence in assigned work. Staff confirmation is separate from later FCC metadata observations.
Yes. Save your work and export a draft PDF with every saved issue, program and airing, even when required details are missing. The draft lists the outstanding checks and stays in your file history. Use it to review with your team, then complete the details and generate a final PDF for filing. Draft PDFs cannot be marked filed.
No. Feeds and extractors supply research candidates. A compiled newscast, a read marker or a routine weather update does not establish a significant community issue or an actual broadcast. Staff connect the issue to verified program evidence.
No. The annual public file report and longer-term outreach obligations are distinct. Coverage and the reporting period depend on the employment unit and its circumstances. Confirm changes in staffing, ownership or station membership before relying on a standard annual period.
Yes. Record a political request, rejected request, free time or issue ad without linking an order. Add issues and programs from actual station evidence, enter EEO and NCE activity, or upload existing documents. A Radio Workflow sign-in and eligible workspace access are still required. Missing source data stays unknown until staff supply or refresh it.
Prepare program-specific donor entries as broadcasts occur, without waiting for quarter-end. Quarterly third-party fundraising reports and whole-quarter no-activity statements remain drafts until the quarter ends. Staff supply actual activity on one selected stream and review eligibility, authority and public fields. Private source and authority notes are omitted from these public PDFs. Every generated version is retained; preparation does not determine fundraising permission or record an FCC upload.
It is one part of preparation. While workspace access is available, download every ZIP part and any separately listed files, check the inventory and keep the copy outside the app. Add direct FCC uploads, vault files and other records held elsewhere. The archive includes private drafts and rate worksheets; it is not a complete FCC mirror or a public-access service. Your station arranges access and records new activity during an outage.
Yes. REST and MCP expose the published app operations, including NCE preparation, political backup parts, work items, records, review runs and authorized files. Choose all app actions or narrower permissions on an expiring, revocable key. MCP clients need support for a custom Authorization header. The same validation and station confirmations apply; a key cannot supply missing facts or perform an FCC upload.
The workspace and stored files require authorized access. Uploading a document here does not publish it to the FCC. Review the intended destination and remove private material before making any public upload. See the data and controls page for how stored records, drafting and file access work.
It means that review finished within its stated sources and scope. The station remains responsible for the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of its public file and other FCC obligations. The product helps prepare, track and preserve evidence; it is not an FCC certification or a legal opinion.
