Title: Amendment for Eligibility Rules for FM Broadcast Translator Stations (MB Docket No. 07-172) | |
Abstract: On July 14, 2006, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) filed a Petition for Rulemaking proposing that the Commission amend its rules to allow AM broadcast stations to operate FM translator stations. The NAB Petition proposed that AM stations be permitted to license and/or use FM translator stations to retransmit their AM service as a fill-in service. Specifically, the NAB proposed that AM stations be allowed to use FM translator stations to rebroadcast the AM signal, provided that no portion of the 60 dBu contour of any such FM translator station extends beyond the smaller of: (a) A 25-mile radius from the AM transmitter site; or (b) the 2 mV/m daytime contour of the AM station. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposes rules permitting the use of FM translators by AM stations and examines the issues related to such a rule change, including the issue of program origination at night over FM translators by AM daytime-only stations. | |
