Legal Hotline

The WSAB’s Legal Question Hotline is available only to members of the Washington State Association of Broadcasters, and is not available to the general public.

David Oxenford is a partner with the law firm of Wilkinson Barker Knauer, LLP in Washington, DC and is the Legal Counsel to the WSAB for FCC issues.   Eric Stahl of Davis Wright Tremaine, LLP in Seattle provides counsel for in-state issues. Member stations may direct questions through the WSAB at kshipman@wsab.org.   

The Legal Question Hotline and Legal Question Quick Answers below are intended to illustrate the applicability of general legal principles. They are not intended to serve as a substitute for specific legal advice regarding a particular situation from your company’s FCC counsel, nor do they create an attorney-client relationship between the WSAB, any individual attorney or law firm and a station or person using this resource.  Stations should always consult their communications counsel questions about a specific factual situation.
