What our last check found

Read from the FCC's public records on .

  • Quarterly issues/programs list: not on file

    Q2 2026

    no file has been added to the Issues and Programs folder since Feb 27, 2026; the Q2 2026 quarterly list (due Jul 10, 2026) appears to be missing.

  • Annual EEO report: couldn’t check

    annual EEO report

    we don't have this station's licensed state on file, so its EEO anniversary date can't be determined. Set the state here and we'll rescan.

  • FCC authorizations: on file

    continuous

    21 file(s) in the FCC Authorizations folder.

  • Political file: on file

    2026 general

    outside the pre-general ad window (Sep 4 through Nov 3, 2026); last political-file activity Dec 19, 2025. Timeliness during ad windows can't be verified from timestamps alone; this check only watches for silence inside the window.

This describes what our scan saw in the folders the FCC publishes. It is not a compliance determination, and a record can be on file somewhere our check does not look. The station's own file is the authority: WACA on publicfiles.fcc.gov.

What belongs in this file

Every licensed radio and television station keeps a public inspection file, hosted by the FCC and open to anyone without a login. The record the FCC reviews most closely is the quarterly issues and programs list, due January 10, April 10, July 10 and October 10, describing the community issues the station identified and the programming that addressed them. Those lists stay in the file until final action on the station's next license renewal.

A folder that looks empty does not always mean a station has not filed. The most common mistake we find is a finished list uploaded into the wrong folder, where it counts for nothing and nobody notices. Five things to know about your FCC public inspection file covers what goes where, and why nothing warns you when a list is missed.

RadioPaperwork is a compliance service, not a law firm. It does not provide legal advice or certify FCC compliance. Filing on a station's behalf never happens without the station approving the document first, and does not shift responsibility: the licensee remains responsible for the contents of its public file, and the FCC provides no safe harbor for using an outside service. "No gaps found" means our checks found nothing missing, which is not the same as an FCC compliance certification.
