Default IBOC at Night and the Local/Regional AMs

FD,

DE - So Tell Us All - What Are : "Docket 80-90 Drop-Ins"

All I have found so far is :

The Docket 80-90 "Drop-Ins" (new FM stations) were, by definition,
Local Stations that mostly served "Targeted" Community Needs.

I.E. - Broadcasting in Languages 'other' than English to underserved
Groups within a Community (City/Town/Region/State).

FWIW - May also apply to underserved "Religious" Groups within a
Community (City/Town/Region/State).

Docket 80-90 was supposed to be a chance to open Radio Station
Ownership to many new players; turned into a chance for existing
Owners to buy-out-competition and Grow from 1 AM/1 FM to up to
Eight Radio Stations in a Broadcast Area "Media Market".
