Is there a chance of utilizing the broadcasting hours that are not used by the school during vacation and holiday periods, given that you are in a time share agreement with them?

Yes, it’s possible to utilize the broadcasting hours that are not being used by the school during vacation and holiday periods. Since you are in a time-share agreement with the school, you could potentially make arrangements to broadcast during those periods when the school is closed. This way, you could maximize your station’s airtime and ensure compliance with the broadcasting requirements outlined in the rules. Just be sure to coordinate with the school and follow any necessary procedures to make use of the available hours.

Collaborate with the school to update the existing timeshare agreement. This entails outlining new terms, including defining the vacation period during which your station will operate at full capacity, specifying the date when school activities resume, and establishing the broadcasting hours for each station. Once both parties have mutually agreed upon the revised terms, you can put the updated agreement into effect immediately. Notify the FCC about these changes by submitting a Form 319 from each station involved. This approach ensures proper communication and compliance with the adjusted broadcasting arrangement.
