NAB Asks For FM Translators For AM Stations
The NAB is petitioning the FCC to allow AM stations to use FM
translators to fill in coverage areas within the AM's 2 mV/m daytime
contour or within 25 miles of the station's transmitter. The petition
notes AM stations' reception problems from electrical interference and
the pending trouble with extending Daylight Savings Time for four
additional weeks starting next year, meaning stations which power down
at night will experience more weeks of diminished service in drive times.
