These sections also require the licensee to forward the station license to the FCC in the case of permanent discontinuance of the station. Section 74.564 (aural broadcast auxiliary stations) require that the station license and any other instrument of authorization be posted in the room where the transmitter is located, or if operated by remote control, at the operating position. Section 74.664 (television broadcast auxiliary stations) require that the station license and any other instrument of authorization be posted in the room where the transmitter is located.
