| Document: Excerpt from FCC opinion regarding religious broadcasting, 12/15/99. (2250 words) |
 | Noncommercial television applicants which are non-profit organizations, such as Cornerstone, must submit "evidence that officers, directors and members of the governing board are broadly representative of the educational, cultural and civic groups in the community." (FCC Form 340, Section II, Paragraph 11(a)). |
| [87] While Cornerstone named three new directors to its Board the month preceding the filing of the assignment application,[88] based upon the information provided in the assignment application, the staff could not reach a determination as to whether Cornerstone's Board was sufficiently representative. |
| Moreover, Cornerstone has begun taking the necessary steps towards converting from a commercial to a noncommercial educational operation, including expanding its Board to add five new directors, hiring a station manager responsible for community and cultural outreach, and committing to form a broadly representative CAB to provide general input into the station regarding programming. |
