Re: [IRCA] Alliance Urges FCC to Reconsider Protection Proposals

["Mark Durenberger" <Mark4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

WHAT A HOOT!  "Fix AM...OH...but don't go QUITE that far in fixing it"  <g>

Now that the FCC is considering "revitalizing AM" by adding the sacred cows 
to the mix (the 1-As), the entrenched interests are up in arms.

"Fix things...but Not In My Back Yard."

Old-timers are reminded of the fierce lobbying of the "Clear-Channel 
Broadcasting Service" in the 60's; even the arguments are the same: "Don't 
kill Clear-Channel Broadcasting; we need it for National Defense, weather 
alerts" etc. etc.  I doubt there are more than a half-dozen 50-kilowatt 1-As 
who try to service their entire protected-coverage areas.


Cheers!

Mark Durenberger
