Sponsorship Identification Requirements for Foreign Government-Provided Programming

Date(s): Jan/10/2026

All licensees airing any foreign programming which requires a specific disclosure at the time of broadcast during the period October 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 must place a copy of the disclosure and the name of the program to which the disclosure was appended, as well as the dates and times the program aired, in their Public Inspection File by this date. See 47 CFR Section 73.1212(j). Note that the FCC expanded the breadth of content to which this rule applies and the underlying paperwork requirements on June 10, 2025, but has twice deferred the deadline for complying with these expanded requirements. The latest extension moved that compliance date to June 7, 2026.
