FCC h a s second thoughts o n calls FCC retains K and W distinctions; lets owners assign their call leners t o other broadcasters i n different sewices

Bowing to nearly universal disapproval, the FCC, at its open meeting last week, decided against elim~nating the geographical restric- tions on assigning call letters beginning with K to stations west of the Mississippi River- and W to stations lo the east. Commissioner lames Quello offered h ~ s congratulations on "a reasonable response to a chaotic proposal," and said he was "glad to see the docket closed "Commissioner Patric~a Dlaz Dennls concurred and said she was also "very pleased" to see an end to the matrer Cha~r- man Dennis Patrick saw an opponunity to defend the FCC from critics ofderegulation. "Al l those who think (his commission is disposed to deregulate just for the sake of dere- eulation." he said. "should note this item."

T ~ C FCC also prop>>crlto allnu \<pa- rdlelb ouned stallon< In .!!fierent \ervlc<s to free6 use any call letters not used by another station in the same service (presently, only commonly owned stations can use the same call letters). That proposal was modlfied to allow separately owned stations in d~ferent servlces to use the same call letters only with the wnrten permission of the first call letter user The prbpo\al nrtgtnall) anted tu l~ml t the ~on,enl agreement to a g \ e n marrcl. hut the orooosal was modified-to extend the re- qul;ement nationally.

The only proposal in the rulemaking to succeed without compialnt was the stream- lining of call letter transfer when a station switches to a new frequency In the same market. Under the "first-come, first-served policy, when changing frequencies, owners had ro rel~nqulsh a call letter and then reap- ply for i t Now broadcasters wil l not have to risk los~ng long-held call leuers when changing to new facilities.

The outcry over the FCC's call letter proposal was loud, wlth networks, trade associ- ations, group owners and rating services voicing opposition. Arbitron in panicular was vehemently opposed to the proposal. Its research indicated that a majority of vlewers used call leuers to identil'y stations and felt that any attempt to change the system would lead to confusion and distort ratings.

Natlonal Association of Broadcasters radio board chairman and RKO Radio president, Jerry Lyman, sa~d the NAB was pleased the FCC chose to drop "a change we believe would have created unnecessary confusion.'' Lyman also said the modifica- tion of the f~rst-come, first-served policy will also benefit aud~ences in retaining iden- tification ofstations. Lyman said: "We con- crnue to believe the cornr~iission'sdecision to permit stattons. . t o use the samecall letters could create confusion. . .but ar least the cunlnll<?lon has decided to requlre consent ol the statlon holdlng (he original call slgn."

The FCC said it had proposed the change in K and W distinctions to increase the number of call siens available, bur dec~ded agalnsl the change because "on funher re- nectlon the comm~ss~on found that such a change would not increase the pool of available call stens, but only the areas where the ensting call sign pdssibilities could be 1 lg ~~,,h n i r d streel used." The commission also sa~d it "recog- P.O. Bax 71 1 nized the value ofma~ntainlng the traditional Hannibal, Missouri 63401 radio station identifjcat~on conventlons," and retaining the current convention "outweighed any mlnor inconvenience i t may pose for some broadcas~ers "

The commission felt the modifica~~on of the was proposal justified because for conforming "broadcast basic stauons call l i p s sell

time and panlcipate in program supply and other markets nationally and locally, and the FCC concluded that the harmful efects from mistaken ident~ty would not be l~mited to any oanlcular ~ e o ~ r p h i c area."

Bdme obseriers'felt this could mean that stations with distinctive call letters would be free to sell their calls lo statlons in other markets. Scott Robens ofthe pollcy analysis div~sion, said he saw nothing In the order that would prohibit the sale of call slpns, and said he expected some consideration would

More Daytimers Get Nighttime Hours

The exlinctlen of daytime-only brosd- cast stations drew cbser recently as the FCC gave the go-ahead for more dayiimers to operate at night on 14 for- eign clear channels. Previously. US stations within 650 mites of Canada and Mexico were prohibited from oper- ating at night on these channek. as stipulated by the North American Re- gional Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA). But the Commission report- ed that recent international talks deter- mined those protection levels "far ex- ceeded" requirements needed to avoid interference, so more US stations can operate on them.

Because the NARBA rules sHll apply to Mamian clear channels, only PMial nighttime operation on 1540 KHz was granted to US dayiimers withln 650 m~les of the Bahamas. However, the FCC Says the Bahamian government "intends to denounce NARBA and

stlck only to another international agreement with no such restrictive measures

Twentyone of the 41 dayiimers on the 1540 KHz frequency are now authorized lor nighttime broadcasting, although the Commission noted that some stations even outside of the 650.mile boundary will continue to have operations restricted until NARBA rules are scrapped.

of DXN. The f inger of b l m can be p i n t e d p a r t l y a t t h e Fa3 f o r allowing t h e AM band t o de te r io ra t e , no thanks t o deregulat ion. I n t h e l a s t f i v e years, AM has l o s t over half its audience t o FM because of this mdness . FM pundi ts l i k e Bruce Elving have pu t down t h e sen io r r ad io medium f o r what they th ink is " v i r t u a l t echn ica l bankruptcy". The f a c t s a r e t h a t EM sounds scratchy and very fake, while AM captures a s much of t h e audio s igna l FN does, but with a much f u l l e r sound. As t o nry suggestions f o r alleviating AM band congestion, AM band expansion t o 1705 kHz w i l l help solve t h e problem, but not canplete ly . The long-term so lu t ion w i l l be r ea l loca t ing t h e 120 meter (2300-2500 kHz and 90 meter (3200-3400 kHz) bands t o broadcasting i n the U. S. and Canada, with 2500 kHz (W,MWH) belng a U. S. Clear channel and 3330 kHz (CHU) being a Canadian c l e a r channel, a s wel l a s 225-240 mHz (FM2). The newly created bands, i f approved by t h e p r o p r a u t h o r i t i e s , should have a & p e r of 250 kW on 120 and 90 meters (25 t o 50 kW f o r W,MWH-2500 and CHU-3330, 1 kW on proposed local c l m e l s 2340, 2450, 3230, and 3240), and 316 kW f o r FN2. The s m in te r fe rence protect ion r u l e s f o r 530-1700 kHz should a l s o apply here , with a minimum power of 500 watts, and the Class I, 11, and I11 r u l e s a l s o should apply. Class 1's should have t h e 50 kW l i m i t , Class 11's 10 kw ~ i m u m , and Class 11's l imited t o 5 kW. A shortwave s igna l test was m d e using a Realistic DX-60 and a car antenna d r iv ing through downtown S t .

Sound q u a l i t y is canparable t o FN, a s Elropean AM mcdulatlon standards are used. 125% modulation on AM is jus t tm much. On FM, maybe, but not on AM. Please wr i t e t o t h e FCC a t your earliest convenience, and while you're a t it, send a photcopy of your letter t o the ITU. Your letter w i l l m k e a dif ference.

Also, I must emphasize ownership ru le s . One ccmpany shouldn ' t own an AM, AM2, AM3, FM, and FM2 s t a t i o n i n t h e s m rrarket. Uyner s h i p pa t t e rns should be PMF.1 (ex: 630 kHd97.1 m z ) , WFM2 (ex: 1320 kHz/229.5 m z ) , AM2/FM2 (example: 2420 kHzL227.3 mHz), AM3/FM2 (example: 3230 kHz/225.5 mHz), AML/FN (example: 2370 kHz/95.5 mHz), o r AM3/FN (example: 3380 kHz/100.3 mHz). The same company cannot own s t a t i o n s on 600 kHz, 2320 kHz, 3280 kHz, 106.5 m z , nor 226.7 mHz simultaneously I n t h e s m m r k e t . Radios should be mnufactured t o tune continuously 530-1700 kHz, 2300-2500 kHz, 3200-3400 kHz, 88-108 m z , and 225-240 mHz without a band switch, but with audiophile c i r c u i t r y ( a s featured i n t h e Carver TX-lla APs/AM s te reo /wEM stereo tune r ) and a l l bands capable of receiving s tereo. As I have suggested earlier i n this Muse, please wr i t e t o the FCC d e t a i l i n g t h i s proposal, and send a photocow of your letter t o t h e ITU i n Geneva, Switzerland. 73 and good DX. (Er i c , you've brought up some good pints, but nowhere have you considered the econcmic p r a c t i c a l i t y of such a plan ... t h e c o s t of radios equipped t o tune and tune continuously these bands, t h e a b i l i t y of a w y t o rmke money with only tm s t a t i o n s on t h e a i r , t h e PH, e t c .
