Open Microphone
Moderator:
Steve Hemmingsen
News Anchor, KELO (retired),
Sioux Falls
Opportunities to speak during the open microphone session will be made available through a random selection method to avoid the need for members of the public to spend long periods of time waiting in line and to ensure an equal chance for all to speak.
Everyone entering the hearing will be asked to draw at random a card that will have a “Group Number” pre-printed on it (for example: “Group 25”). There are a total of 10 cards for each group. During the open microphone segment, group numbers will be randomly selected and displayed on screens in the hearing room and overflow seating area.
If a person’s group number is displayed, that person may proceed to the open microphone check-in area at the back of the hearing room. An FCC staff member will then direct them to the microphone at the appropriate time.
