preceding a general or special election.

to disclose any station practices offered 

to commercial advertisers that enhance 

the value of advertising spots and 

different classes of time (immediately 

preemptible, preemptible with notice, 

fixed, fire sale, and make good). These 

rule sections also require licensees and 

cable TV systems to calculate the lowest 

unit charge. Broadcast stations and 

cable systems are also required to 

review their advertising records 

throughout the election period to 

determine whether compliance with 

these rule sections require that 

candidates receive rebates or credits. 47 

CFR Section 76.1611 requires systems to 

disclose to candidates information about 

rates, terms, conditions and all valueenhancing discount privileges offered to 

commercial advertisers.
