Below certain billing levels, the value of stations like this is =

current programming, so billing is not material. The old day formula =

Example: inferior, basin-floor limited Class B KFSG (now KXOL-FM) in =

listener service would be enhanced if only the FCC would engineer =
greater scarcity for the benefit of the owners.
