Medford, OR based theDove Media have filed a lawsuit against the FCC after the agency reinstated a rule requiring broadcasters to submit annual station employment reports. Founder Perry Atkinson operates radio and low-power television stations across California, Oregon, and Boise, ID.

The mandatory collection of diversity data, known as Form 395-B, is set to resume this fall after a more than 20-year pause due to a court order. The FCC voted to reinstate the requirement earlier this year, stating that collecting employment data provides a better understanding of workforce composition in the broadcast sector.

In a press release announcing the lawsuit, theDove expressed concerns that the rule “would force broadcasters to choose between hiring based on race or sex, or the risk of ruinous lawsuits.”
