I’m finalizing a Time Brokerage Agreement for an LPTV station and need a communications attorney who truly understands the broadcast arena to give the document a thorough legal once-over before I sign. The focus is contract review—no courtroom work—just a clear, actionable assessment of where the agreement protects me and where it leaves me exposed. In particular, I need your expert eye to help me add or understand: • IP protection language • Public Inspection File obligations (do they exist for this?) • Termination flexibility (both ordinary and for-cause) • Technical acceptance standards for programming and equipment Priority Questions: IP Protection — Need explicit language confirming Ultra Plush retains all rights to NBS brand, Meridian technology, PuzzleDaemon, viewer data, sponsor relationships, and all produced content. Nothing proprietary should appear in the agreement text itself. Public Inspection File — Are LPTV TBAs subject to FCC public file requirements? If so, what can be redacted? Meridian is proprietary technology that must not become public record. Termination flexibility — Is an 18-month take-or-pay commitment reasonable? Should we request a termination right after month 6 with 30 days notice? Technical acceptance — Should payment commence only after successful multi-day SRT feed test rather than when programming begins? Governing law — Currently Arizona. Can we negotiate Nevada or mutual jurisdiction? What I expect as a deliverable is a marked-up version of the draft plus a short memo that flags any red-line issues, suggests alternative wording, and confirms we remain compliant with FCC rules that touch Low-Power TV operations. If you have recent LPTV or radio/TV TBA experience and can turn this around quickly, let’s talk—my signing deadline is approaching fast!

Hello, I have experience reviewing commercial agreements, intellectual property provisions, technology licensing, media arrangements, regulatory compliance, and contract risk allocation. I can provide a focused review of your Time Brokerage Agreement with particular attention to the FCC and broadcast specific issues you have identified. I will review the agreement provision by provision and prepare targeted redlines covering Ultra Plush's ownership of its IP, technology, viewer data, sponsor relationships, and produced content, while ensuring proprietary information is not unnecessarily exposed. I will also assess the Public Inspection File implications for an LPTV TBA, including what information may be subject to disclosure and what protections or redactions may be available. Particular attention will be given to the 18 month take or pay commitment, potential termination after month 6, technical acceptance and SRT testing conditions, payment commencement, equipment standards, governing law, indemnification, liability, and FCC compliance. I will provide practical alternative language rather than simply identifying risks. You will receive a marked up agreement together with a concise legal memorandum explaining the key redlines, negotiation priorities, and regulatory considerations. I am available to prioritize the review given your approaching signing deadline and can begin as soon as you provide the draft TBA and related schedules.
