REC Radio History Project - CDBS Historic Search
The following links access web pages that provide the ability to search and retrieve historic information from the former FCC Consolidated Database System (CDBS) for AM, FM, TV, LPTV, and DTV broadcast stations. This search does NOT reflect current broadcast data. For current broadcast data, visit FCCdata.org.
This site is a simulation of the old CDBS Public Access system that was provided by the Federal Communications Commission between 2000~2024. This search is limited to only applications and facilities that show in the FCC's former CDBS database tables and contains access to the enhancements provided by REC Networks as part of the CDBS Retirement Historical Restoration Project.

The information in this search tool is not current. The data in this tool was frozen in time when the FCC transitioned filings of broadcast applications from CDBS to the Licensing Management System (LMS) in 2014 (for TV), 2019 (for FM radio) and 2023 (for AM radio). Do not depend on this tool as an authoritative method for the filing of broadcast applications in today's environment. For assistance on FM applications, please contact REC Networks at 202 621-2355.

By using this search tool, you totally understand that all data is historical and does not reflect currently authorized facilities and you hold REC Networks harmless for any actions related to the use of this database search.

I understand all of that - Take me to the Historic CDBS Search

I need information from today - Take me to FCCdata.org
The database searches return either station or application data. The application search provides an application link that displays the complete electronically filed application in application format. An AL/TC search under the application search link permits searching for Assignment of License/Transfer of Control groups using the AL/TC group lead application.
