If you've considered founding a radio or television station, you know that this is an ambitious undertaking. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recommends, and the prospective station licensee soon finds that he needs, professional assistance in all phases of the application... not only engineering technology. The FCC even cautions that all filing requirements should be checked carefully before filing at risk of dismissal of the application and loss of FCC filing fees.
Sterling Communications is equipped to meet those needs, offering a helping hand to guide you through the myriad of details necessary to create and operate your station. In addition, Sterling stands on an impressive record of FCC approvals for licensing and operation.
Bringing together the talents of legal, engineering, financial, and other professionals, Sterling is an organization with excellent credentials and an outstanding track record of performance in this highly specialized field. The majority of our people have spent their entire adult lives in broadcasting, and are committed to the highest standards of client service.
Our business is built upon the principles of integrity, competence, and professionalism as well as an ongoing commitment to establishing and maintaining quality radio communications. We maintain the best available technical and data files, hold membership in professional organizations, and constantly work to upgrade the quality of radio and television broadcasting. We believe in going the extra mile for our customers.
In today's world, there grow to be fewer and fewer radio and television stations that are dedicated to the presentation of quality, family-oriented material. We believe that this is a need that is not being met to its fullest potential. It is our desire to work together with individuals interested in this market to provide quality broadcasting, rather than merely quantity.
