That old dupe rule

["Martin J. Waters" <mwaters@wesleyan.edu>]

	To clear up something from this recent thread:

	I remembered something about the AM-FM duplication limits being
phased in, but I must have been suffering brain drain. My copy of the FCC
rules from 1972 says that the rule was: After October 15, 1965, FM stations
licensed to cities of 100,000 population or more cannot duplicate more than
50 percent per week.  There's language about applying for an exemption on
the basis that continued duplication "would better serve the public
interest."
