FCC CORES database updated/corrected for AM/FM stations

CORES DATABASE HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH REVISED AM & FM RADIO

STATION FEE CODES AND FEE AMOUNTS FOR FY 2024 REGULATORY FEES

The FCC has resolved the fee issues that arose towards the end of last week for certain Media Bureau fee

payors. Media services licensees can now log into the CORES System to see their revised AM and FM

fee codes and fee amounts. Payment must be received by the Commission no later than 11:59 PM

Eastern Daylight Time, on September 26, 2024, to avoid an assessment of a late payment penalty and

interest. The FCC will be evaluating all payments that were made by AM or FM broadcasters between

September 10, 2024, when CORES first opened, and today, when revised fee amounts became available

for viewing in the CORES system. The FCC will take action to reconcile the payments that have already

been made and will try to contact affected broadcasters.

Please also note that Low Power FM stations that have a call sign of “Call Sign – LP” are not subject to

FY 2024 regulatory fees. The Commission will be removing these call signs from the CORES database

or flagging them as “Not Feeable” shortly.
