Am I reading this right? Somebody wants to move a station across 6 states?

Checking FCC site. Yeah, that's what they want to do.

This is completely assinine. Why not just apply for a new station?

Because of all the noise on the AM band, the FCC will not authorize a new AM
station.

What I want to know is what CCU hopes to add. Most of the AM stations in
Cleveland are crap.

That must be news to the 893 people who filed applications for new
stations earlier this year, in cities as large as Philadelphia...

Mississippi=Arizona are typos.)

A large number of the January window applications are for new stations.

The FCC should put the AM band ON HOLD. Then open a DAB band, coordinated with or
without the Canadians, I don't care. Open a window for applications to this new band
with preferential treatment for existing AM owners, then those with AM and FM
operations, and finally FM only licensees FOR THE COL only. License those, with a
drop dead date for the existing AM operation of 1 year after a station's CP is
completed, and close the AM band , regardless, in 4 years.

It would be ideal for community broadcasters....RDS, heck, just about anything which
doesn't need to be co-ordinated. Those who didn't get a license could rent their
towers out for cell phones.

That's going to be a real disappointment to the thousands of applicants who
applied for new stations.

Looks like I was wrong

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/getstat.html

"Applications for new AM broadcast stations must be electronically filed on
FCC Form 301 during a specified application window period."

It's the expanded band they will not take new applications for.
