[BC] Station Rules compliance (AOL Webmail)

[Bailey, Scott]

If you own the daytimer and the Class A on the same channel, why can you
not operate the daytimer at night if corporate wishes?

Look what was legally done with WLIB and WOWO. I do think there is a
clause that is open to allow WOWO to be reclassified as a Class A in the
future, or am I wrong about that?

In a time when a company can buy a station and take it silent to 
favor another market, why couldn't a common owner agree to accept the 
interference from the daytimer? I don't like the idea but I wonder 
how many distant listeners have any interest in Chicago news, weather 
and traffic. Of course, I'm assuming the daytimer has a full time 
news staff 24/7 and is providing live and local service to a 
community that, desperately, needs Michael Savage after dark.
