The license shows the station's call letters, frequency, operating power, transmitter location, any special operating conditions imposed by the FCC and the issuance and expiration dates of the license.
Applications and related materials
Copies of all pending applications filed with the FCC must be included in the Public File. These include applications to modify the facilities (e.g., to increase power, modify the antenna structure, or change the transmitter location).
Citizen Agreements
Stations must keep a copy of any written agreements they make with local listeners. These "citizen agreements" deal with programming, employment, or other issues of community concern. The station must keep these agreements in the public file for as long as they are in effect
Contour Maps
The public file must contain copies of service contour maps or other information submitted with any application filed with the FCC that reflects the station's service contours and/or its main studio and transmitter location. Not all stations are required to have contour maps.
Material relating to an FCC investigation or a complaint
