Re: WNTN and 2/3rds rule



According to the FCC rules ..."stations are required to maintain an 
operating schedule of not less than 2/3rds of the total hours they 
are authorized to operate between 6 am and 6 pm local time and 
another 2/3rds of the time they are authorized to operate between 6pm 
and midnight each day of the week except Sunday" Daytimers need only 
comply with the 6am to 6 pm requirement.  The flea-powered nighttime 
powers are optional. So during June, WNTN is in compliance even if 
they stay on for just eight hours.  A full time station would be in 
compliance if they were on 8 hours during the day and another 4 hours 
at night.
