Some employees of radio and television stations perform work which
may be exempt from the minimum wage and overtime requirements under
section 13(a)(1) of the Act. This 13(a)(1) exemption applies to
employees employed in a bona fide executive, administrative or
professional capacity, or in the capacity of outside salesman, as these
terms are defined and delimited by regulations of the Secretary. This
exemption continues to be available for employees of radio and
television stations who meet the requirements for exemption specified in
part 541 of this chapter. The section 13(b) (9) exemption, which is an
exemption from the overtime provisions of the Act, but not from the
minimum wage requirements, applies to a limited classification of
employees employed by small market radio and television stations whose
employment meets the requirements for the exemption. These requirements
and their meaning and application are discussed in this bulletin.
