[BC] Class C AM Stations

[Scott Bailey]

The FCC doesn't license Class any new "Class C's", thanks to corporate. In the early 40's, when the old Class IV channels were put together by the FCC, they were to be "LOCAL" channels, with powers of 100-250 watts. As time went on in the 60's, they let them have 1 KW daytime, and in the late 70's-early 80's, 1 KW, around the clock.

Cheap Channel, Cumulus, and these other mega groups buy them and have ruin the whole concept of them. Since there is massive interference at night in these channels at night, congress needs to allow LPAMs on those channels at anywhere from 100-250 watts, around the clock, as long as they don't create daytime interference.

Now don't nobody get on here and defend corporate and their lobbyist! They are the reason why the whole concept of Class IV stations were put together in the first place, to serve a small community and the station is to accept massive interference!  That's my 2 cents worth!
