§ 73.788 Service; commercial or sponsored programs.
(a) A licensee of an international broadcast station shall render only an
international broadcast service which will reflect the culture of this
country and which will promote international goodwill, understanding, and
cooperation. Any program solely intended for and directed to an audience in
the continental United States does not meet the requirements for this
service.
(b) Such international broadcast service may include commercial or sponsored
programs: Provided, That:
(1) Commercial program continuities give no more than the name of the
sponsor of the program and the name and general character of the commodity,
utility or service, or attraction advertised.
(2) In case of advertising a commodity, the commodity is regularly sold or
is being promoted for sale on the open market in the foreign country or
countries to which the program is directed in accordance with paragraph (c)
of this section.
(3) In case of advertising an American utility or service to prospective
tourists or visitors to the United States, the advertisement continuity is
particularly directed to such persons in the foreign country or countries
where they reside and to which the program is directed in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this section.
(4) In case of advertising an international attraction (such as a world
fair, resort, spa, etc.) to prospective tourists or visitors to the United
States, the oral continuity concerning such attraction is consistent with
the purpose and intent of this section.
(5) In case of any other type of advertising, such advertising is directed
to the foreign country or countries to which the program is directed and is
consistent with the purpose and intent of this section.
(c) The geographic areas to be served by international broadcasting stations
are the zones and areas of reception shown in § 73.703.
(d) An international broadcast station may transmit the program of a AM
broadcast station or network system: Provided, That the conditions in
paragraph (b) of this section as to any commercial continuities are observed
and when station identifications are made, only the call letter designation
of the international station is given and its assigned frequency: And
provided further, That in the case of chain broadcasting the program is not
carried simultaneously by another international station (except another
station owned by the same licensee operated on a frequency in a different
group to obtain continuity of signal service), the signals from which are
directed to the same area. (See section 3(p) of the Communications Act of
1934 for the definition of “chain broadcasting.”)
