  • Channel 247C3 at Blair to prevent the removal of the sole local service in Blair. While noncommercial educational Station KDCV-FM is on the air and licensed to Blair, Nebraska, we will not consider it as an ``existing service'' for change of community purposes because it is a low-power, secondary service that is subject to interference and displacement. See e.g., Section 73.512(d). Accordingly, consistent with precedent and the agreement of proponent, we will condition the grant of an authorization to operate on Channel 267C2 at Whiting upon the activation of Channel 247C3 at Blair and the grant of program test authority. Technical Summary 8. An engineering analysis has determined that Channel 267C2 can be allotted to Whiting in compliance with the Commission's

[Co-equal weight is given to given to priorities (2) and (3)], See Revision of FM Assignment Policies and Procedures, 90 FCC2d 88, 91 (1988). See Kingston, New York, 17 FCC Rcd 14326 (2002). 47 CFR §§ 74.1203 (translators), 73.512(d) (Class D stations). Stations WSNJ-AM and WNJB(FM) will remain in Bridgeton. Petitioners show that as of 1990, 22% of residents work in the community, and in the intervening years, more businesses have developed in the community to provide employment opportunities for residents. (Factor 1). The community has its own local daily paper, a monthly publication, and two websites. (Factor 2).

  • response to the Notice, we received two Counterproposals. In its Counterproposal, ICRC claims that grant of the Petitioners' proposal will cause its FM Translator Station W230AR to cease operation. To prevent such an outcome, ICRC proposes to change the class designation of its translator station from Class D to Class A on Channel 248A at Thornton, Indiana, pursuant to Section 73.512 of the Commission's Rules. ICRC's proposal is defective for two reasons. First, ICRC has not filed a pleading that qualifies as a counterproposal. A counterproposal is defined as a ``proposal for an alternative and mutually exclusive allotment or set of allotments in the context of the proceeding in which the proposal is made.''

NCE FM Class D stations, which operate on a secondary basis, are also licensed without regard to the extent of interference that the proposed facilities would receive. See 47 C.F.R. § 73.512(d). The magnitude of ``received interference'' LPFM licensing flexibility with regard to authorized FM stations is the difference between the separations set forth in the rule ``for no interference received from maximum class facility'' and the lesser ``required'' separation.

  • __________________________________________________________________ 1 Mr. Dunifer refers to his low-powered radio station as a micro radio station. FCC regulations apply the term Class D station to any station, such as "Free Radio Berkeley", that operates with minimum effective radiated power of less than 100 watts. 2 The FCC regulatory scheme currently precludes the licensing of Class D stations. See e.g., 47 C.F.R. 73.512(c) (except in the state of Alaska, the FCC will not accept new applications for licenses from Class D stations); 47 C.F.R. 73.211(a) (FM stations must operate with a minimum effective radiated power of 100 watts); 47 C.F.R. 73.511(a) (no new noncommercial Educational station will be authorized with less than the minimum power requirement for Class A stations [100 watts]). (Hereinafter,

Stations, 70 F.C.C.2d 972, 983 (1979) (codified at 47 C.F.R. § 73.512(d))). Over the next two decades, often in open defiance of this rule, individual pirates began operating unlicensed low-power stations that broadcast local news, music, and commentary. Known as "microradio," this phenomenon expanded significantly in the late 1990s after Congress amended the Telecommunications Act to eliminate restrictions on the number of radio stations any one person or entity could own. Telecommunications

At all times relevant to this case, appellant Jerry Szoka knew of both the licensing requirement and the microbroadcasting ban. Yet from 1995 until mid-2000, Szoka operated Grid Radio, an unlicensed low-power station in Cleveland, Ohio. He never applied for a license because he believed applying would be futile given the microbroadcasting ban. In early 1997, after receiving a complaint
