Clear Channel Broadcasting Tower Redfield
Clear Channel Broadcasting Tower Redfield is a tall guyed mast located in Grant County (near Redfield), Arkansas, at , currently owned by Mission Broadcasting. It was completed in 1985 and is 1,898.9 feet (578.8 m) high. Its current FCC registration says it was built in 2001, but that is clearly in error; the tower has been in place ever since KASN, the TV station for which it was originally constructed, went on the air in 1986. The 1985 date given above is from an old application filed with the FCC on the date the FCC now says the tower was built (August 22, 2001). Clear Channel Communications acquired the tower when it acquired KASN (KASN and the rest of Clear Channel's television holdings were divested to Newport Television; KASN is now owned by Mission Broadcasting and managed by Nexstar Media Group). The other former television tower near Redfield, the collapsed KATV tower, also had an incorrect construction date on its FCC registration; but its date was off by only ...

Local Marketing Agreement
In North American broadcasting, a local marketing agreement (LMA), or local management agreement, is a contract in which one company agrees to operate a radio or television station owned by another party. In essence, it is a sort of lease or time-buy. Under Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations, a local marketing agreement must give the company operating the station (the "senior" partner) under the agreement control over the entire facilities of the station, including the finances, personnel and programming of the station. Its original licensee (the "junior" partner) still remains legally responsible for the station and its operations, such as compliance with relevant regulations regarding content. Occasionally, a "local marketing agreement" may refer to the sharing or contracting of only certain functions, in particular advertising sales. This may also be referred to as a time brokerage agreement (TBA), local sales agreement (LSA), management services agreement (M ...

Broadcasting Construction Permit
Planning permission or developmental approval refers to the approval needed for construction or expansion (including significant renovation), and sometimes for demolition, in some jurisdictions. It is usually given in the form of a building permit (or construction permit). House building permits, for example, are subject to Building codes. There is also a "plan check" (PLCK) to check compliance with plans for the area, if any. For example, one cannot obtain permission to build a nightclub in an area where it is inappropriate such as a high-density suburb. The criteria for planning permission are a part of urban planning and construction law, and are usually managed by town planners employed by local governments. Failure to obtain a permit can result in fines, penalties, and demolition of unauthorized construction if it cannot be made to meet code. Generally, the new construction must be inspected during construction and after completion to ensure compliance with nation ...
