A 1,000-watt Class C AM radio station serving Fort Smith, Ark., is poised to become the property of a company that shares its name with a popular chocolate candy snack. That's because Pharis Broadcasting is abandoning "Fort Smith's Straight Talk" by handing the "Marshal" to a new boss.

Dielectric, the Sinclair-owned broadcast tower company, has seen significant growth of late with its radio industry clients. In particular, FM station owners have been actively securing agreements with Dielectric. But, it hasn't been doing it alone: much of the activity is tied to 49-year-old pro audio company SCMS.

The 2025 NAB Show is poised to serve as yet another reminder that the consumer-forward gadgetry bringing clearer picture and improved sound to broadcast TV is broader than ever — and going global.

Without structure and a logical flow from one idea to another, your audience may recall little — even if you’re a charismatic speaker. That's what public speaking coach and veteran public relations executive Rosemary Ravinal has to share in her latest column, perfectly timed ahead of the 2025 NAB Show in Las Vegas.

The National Association of Broadcasters Leadership Foundation unveiled the recipients of the 2025 Celebration of Service to America Awards, which recognize local television and radio stations for their outstanding service to their communities across the country.

This document amends the Table of FM Allotments, of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules, by reinstating certain channels as a vacant FM allotment in various communities. The FM allotments were previously removed from the FM Table because a construction permit and/or license was granted. These FM allotments are now considered vacant because of the cancellation of the associated FM authorizations or the dismissal of long-form auction FM applications. A staff engineering analysis confirms that all of the vacant FM allotments complies with the minimum distance separation requirements and principle community coverage requirements of the Commission's rules. The window period for filing applications for these vacant FM allotments will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening these allotments for filing will be addressed by the Commission in subsequent order.
