[BC] Documented harmful interference

[DANA PUOPOLO]

I don't think they could win. Both stations are operating well within FCC
requirements/tolerances.

Another story....

Today I was in Worcester. WILD's main channel barely comes in there, but their
IBOC on 1080 was strong enough to put hash under WTIC 1080 from Hartford, a
class A station running 50kW Non-D. Worcester is a city of about 100,000 well
within WTIC's daytime coverage contour (perhaps 55 miles away as the crow
flies). The hash was there all the time and was about 10-12 db down from the
WTIC audio. It made WTIC quite tiring to listen to.

How come an analog AM station has to protect the WTIC .10 mV/m contour, while
and IBOC carrier can DUMP all over it?

Anyone??

Dana, why haven't they sued? Seriously. I think they may have a case. Time to

speak to Counsel.
