Scott, you're WRONG.. I will eat my words if I AM wrong though.

Its new Class D's that the FCC doesn't license... and with all due 
respect, I agree with them.. the AM band is a mess and these 
peanutwhistle teapot AMs just create more noise floor that we don't need

The FCC still does license new 1KW Fulltime Class C's (1230, 1240, 
1340, 1400, 1450 and 1490) Id be glad to point out several recent CP 
grants and brand ne won the air Class C's if you wish.

 >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!
