Adopted: December 5, 2014 Released: December 5, 2014
By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:
* The Federal Communications Commission's sponsorship identification laws protect consumers and promote fair competition by requiring that the sponsors of paid programming material are clearly identified. Generally, it is clear when an announcement is a commercial that is paid for by a sponsor. In some cases, however, an announcement may appear to be the station's editorial opinion or even station-produced news, when, in fact, it is dictated by -- and paid for by -- a third party. In such cases, the sponsorship identification laws protect consumers by requiring that the third party is clearly disclosed as the sponsor of the announcement. Among other things, these laws prevent broadcasters, advertisers, and others from presenting paid announcements that the public can perceive as the station's editorial or objective content while concealing that the station is being paid by a third party to promote a particular message. Enforcement of the sponsorship identification laws also protects fair competition among advertisers. We seek to prevent sponsors from gaining unfair advantage by paying stations to present promotional messages as station news or editorial content without appropriate disclosures, while their competitors observe the rules and present their content as acknowledged commercial advertisements.
* In this case, the Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission investigated a complaint that KTNV-TV in Las Vegas broadcast what appeared to be news reports about liquidation sales at local car dealerships, without disclosing that the dealerships had paid the station to air the reports. Our investigation revealed that KTNV-TV produced and aired "Special Reports," formatted in the style of news reports, concerning the liquidation sales and that the "Special Reports" did not include explicit disclaimers that the car dealerships had paid for the "Special Reports." Journal Broadcasting Corporation (Journal), the licensee of KTNV-TV, admits that these broadcasts violated the sponsorship identification laws. Journal will pay $115,000 to resolve the allegations and agrees to implement a three-year compliance plan to avoid future violations of the sponsorship identification laws.
* In this Order, we adopt the attached Consent Decree entered into between the Bureau and Journal. The Consent Decree resolves and terminates the Bureau's investigation into Journal's violations of Section 317 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act), and Section 73.1212 of the Commission's rules (Rules) pertaining to sponsorship identification.
* The Bureau and Journal have negotiated the terms of the Consent Decree that resolves this matter. A copy of the Consent Decree is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
* After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and evaluating the facts before us, we find that the public interest would be served by adopting the Consent Decree and terminating the investigation.
* In the absence of material new evidence relating to this matter, we conclude that our investigation raises no substantial or material questions of fact as to whether Journal possesses the basic qualifications, including those related to character, to hold or obtain any Commission license or authorization.
* Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Sections 4(i), 4(j), and 503(b) of the Act, and Sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Rules, the Consent Decree attached to this Order IS ADOPTED.
* IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned investigation IS TERMINATED.
* IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any third-party complaints and allegations against KTNV-TV and/or Journal related to the above-captioned investigation that are currently pending before the Bureau as of the date of this Consent Decree ARE DISMISSED.
* IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order and Consent Decree shall be sent by First Class U.S. Mail and Certified Mail to Journal's counsel, Dennis P. Corbett, Esq., Lerman Senter PLLC, 2000 K Street, NW, Suite 600, Washington, DC 20006.

background
The Sponsorship Identification Laws establish the general obligation of a broadcast station to air sponsorship identification announcements whenever any "money, service or other valuable consideration" is paid or promised to the station for the broadcast of program material. The Commission has noted that the Sponsorship Identification Laws are "grounded in the principle that listeners and viewers are entitled to know who seeks to persuade them." The disclosures required by the Sponsorship Identification Laws provide listeners and viewers with information concerning the source of material in order to prevent misleading or deceiving those listeners and viewers. The Commission has warned that it would take enforcement action against broadcast stations and cable operators that did not comply with these disclosure requirements.
The Bureau received a Complaint alleging that Arrowhead Advertising, an advertising agency in Las Vegas, Nevada that represented local automobile dealerships, approached several local television stations, including KTNV-TV, offering to buy air time for commercials if the stations aired "news" programming concerning automobile liquidation sales events at the dealerships.
The Bureau's investigation revealed that KTNV-TV accepted payment from the dealerships to produce and air several versions of what KTNV-TV called a "Special Report" about the liquidation at the dealerships. The "Special Reports" were formatted in the style of a news report and featured a KTNV-TV employee who, in the manner of a television reporter, questioned representatives of the dealerships about their ongoing liquidation sales events. The "Special Reports," however, were not in fact news coverage, but instead paid advertisements. KTNV-TV broadcast the "Special Reports" twenty-seven times from May through August 2009. In its response to the Bureau's investigation, Journal acknowledged the applicability of the Commission's Sponsorship Identification Laws to the "Special Reports," but argued that the context of the "Special Reports" made clear that the "Special Reports" were paid advertisements despite the lack of an explicit disclaimer. Based on the record, however, the Bureau contends that Journal failed to air sponsorship announcements required by the Sponsorship Identification Laws for the twenty-seven "Special Reports" broadcast by KTNV-TV.
Adopting Order. The Parties agree that the provisions of this Consent Decree shall be subject to final approval by the Bureau by incorporation of such provisions by reference in the Adopting Order.
Jurisdiction. Journal agrees that the Bureau has jurisdiction over it and the matters contained in this Consent Decree and that the Bureau has the authority to enter into and adopt this Consent Decree.
Effective Date; Violations. The Parties agree that this Consent Decree shall become effective on the Effective Date as defined herein. As of the Effective Date, the Adopting Order and this Consent Decree shall have the same force and effect as any other order of the Commission. Any violation of the Adopting Order or of the terms of this Consent Decree shall constitute a separate violation of a Commission order, entitling the Commission to exercise any rights and remedies attendant to the enforcement of a Commission order.
Termination of Investigation. In express reliance on the covenants and representations in this Consent Decree and to avoid further expenditure of public resources, the Bureau agrees to terminate the Investigation. In consideration for the termination of the Investigation, Journal agrees to the terms, conditions, and procedures contained herein. The Bureau further agrees that in the absence of new material evidence, the Bureau will not use the facts developed in the Investigation through the Effective Date, or the existence of this Consent Decree, to institute on its own motion any new proceeding, formal or informal, or take any action on its own motion against Journal concerning the matters that were the subject of the Investigation. The Bureau also agrees that in the absence of new material evidence, it will not use the facts developed in the Investigation through the Effective Date, or the existence of this Consent Decree, to institute on its own motion any proceeding, formal or informal, or take any action on its own motion against Journal with respect to Journal's basic qualifications, including its character qualifications, to be a Commission licensee or to hold Commission licenses or authorizations.
Section 73.1212 Complaints; Subsequent Investigations. Nothing in this Consent Decree shall prevent the Commission or its delegated authority from adjudicating complaints, other than the complaint that formed the basis for the instant Investigation, filed pursuant to Section 73.1212 of the Rules against Journal, or its affiliates, for alleged violations of the Sponsorship Identification Laws, the Act, the Rules, or for any other type of alleged misconduct, regardless of when such misconduct took place. The Commission's adjudication of any such complaint will be based solely on the record developed in that proceeding. Except as expressly provided in this Consent Decree, this Consent Decree shall not prevent the Commission from investigating new evidence of noncompliance by Journal with the Communications Laws.
Admission of Liability. Journal admits, in express reliance on the provisions of paragraph 9 herein, that its actions with respect to the broadcast of the Special Reports referenced in paragraph 5 of this Consent Decree violated the Commission's Sponsorship Identification Laws.
Civil Penalty. Journal will make a payment to the United States Treasury in the amount of one hundred fifteen thousand dollars ($115,000) within thirty (30) calendar days after the Effective Date. Journal shall also send electronic notification of payment to Jeffrey J. Gee at Jeffrey.Gee@fcc.gov, Kenneth M. Scheibel, Jr. at Kenneth.Scheibel@fcc.gov, and to Guy N. Benson at Guy.Benson@fcc.gov on the date said payment is made. The payment must be made by check or similar instrument, wire transfer, or credit card, and must include the Account Number and FRN referenced above. Regardless of the form of payment, Journal must submit a completed FCC Form 159 (Remittance Advice). When completing the FCC Form 159, Journal should enter the Account Number in block number 23A (call sign/other ID) and enter the letters "FORF" in block number 24A (payment type code).
