That's because the lobbyist allow this to happen. The Class "C's" should have never been allowed over 250 watts day and night. More communities would have gotten an AM station. Greed and money has permit this protection, daytime.

There needs to be another "Class C" channel created to allow stations in smaller communities to have a radio station, with no more then 250 watts. 1690 would be great! Giving the current Class C stations 150 mile protection during the day is just plain channel hogging to me, and I don't think back in the early 40's, the FCC has this in mind for the Class IV channels.
