Did the FCC really want daytimers to go away? i recall an FCC staffmember
(maybe John Reiser?) saying that the laws of physics allows daytime
operation without causing interference to distant stations. Not using that
opportunity is a waste of spectrum. If, on the other hand, there is not an
economic use of that daytime only channel, it can be abandoned.

Anyone remember the Daytime Broadcasters Association? How about the NAFMB
and the NRBA?
