Re: [IRCA] WAMG - 890



It doesnt matter where the towers are, as long as the studio is 25 miles or
less from the city of license.. and that is usually measured from the edge
of one city to the edge of the other, not city center to city center.. as
far as I know.

Plus, if the City the radio station is in is served by a major, full power
tv station, the studio can be up to 65 miles away.

I suspect WAMG was on day power and pattern.. I can't think of a reason they
would be non directional.
