FCC Policies for Public Media Underwriting Messages

Underwriting Basics

All underwriting messages on The Public’s Radio & RIPBS are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The primary purpose is to “fully and fairly disclose the true identity” of program funders.
FCC rules apply equally to for-profit and nonprofit organizations.
Rhode Island Public Media reserves the right to refuse any underwriting message that:
- Violates FCC regulations or station guidelines.
- Is inconsistent with the station’s overall tone, or audience expectations.
If listeners or viewers raise concerns about an underwriting message, it will be reviewed by station management. Final decisions are based on FCC policy and station interpretation.
