[BC] Dealing with IBOC hash problems

[Bailey, Scott]

Rich,
  It doesn't matter if the analog station is getting interference in or
out of its protected contour, the commission is not going to do anything
about resolving the issue. They want analog to go away. I've had to
learn to live with it.

Where is it being wiped out? If it's outside your protected contour, 
the general attitude is that you're out of luck. I'm sure you're 
wrong about the lawsuits. In this very forum we were assured by a 
very powerful EVP that their stations would never cause interference. 
If the interfering stations are under his control I'm sure you only 
need to call and tell him there's a problem and he'll make them shut 
down. Check the archives. He promised.
