[BC] CALLING ALL AM DAYTIMERS

[Bailey, Scott]

Phil,
  We had a situation here where there was no way that this particular
daytimer couldn't get any nighttime authorization, and no Pre-Sunrise or
Post-Sunset. It was the only station in the county, and high school
football was big, and nobody wanted some stupid Saturday Morning Replay
of the game, it was considered old news.
  What the station owner of the daytimer did was contact the management
of the Class A dominate station, they both sign a letter that on Friday
Nights, (during football season) from 7:30 PM Central until 9:30
Central, the Class A station would accept the interference from the
daytimer, to allow the community to hear the football game live.
  I know most engineers would totally disagree with this, but this was
the only way this could be done, and thank goodness, the Class A station
went along with it.

Scott

 
For example, if high school sports is a big thing in the possible NIF 
area or nearby, it may be worth looking into. It may also be worth 
investigation if a nighttime license would significantly increase the 
station's market value. Licensing in the band is no less complex than
maintaining a plant that *is* licensed for nighttime. <g>
