The FCC is going to handle the interference complaints of higher IBUZ
power the same way they're currently handling complaints. They're
ignoring them on a case by case basis. That leaves stations to rely
on the kindness of strangers to clean it up. It appears the only way
to get rid of the interference is to own both stations (WJR/WABC) and
have a corporate directive to shut it down after dark. For AM I think
of it as requiring TV to go to black and white after sunset.
