[BC] WBAA at Perdue license issue explained

[Barry Mishkind]

 >From The Collegiate Broadcasters, Inc. (CBI) Listserv>>

Let's make this clear.  The WBAA situation was the fault of the 
licensee and not the Commission staff.  Rarely, especially since the 
implementation of the electronic filing system, does the Commission 
misplace any application.  What usually happens is the licensee 
prepares an application and "validates" it.  However, they forget to 
go back to the main menu and "transmit" the application.  Absent that 
action, the licensee may think it has submitted an application 
(because they can see it filled out on their computer screen), but 
the application has not been filed.
