Fwd: Re: An 88.1 FM Station AND A Channel 6 TV In the Same Market?

["Laurence Glavin" <lglavin@lycos.com>]

 Let me correct this:  it's still at the application stage.
One applicant wants about 300 watts, the other 500 watts.  Antenna
sites shown thru wwww.radio-station.com show one  west of Nubeffa
and the other in Achushnet.

Not if the TV station agrees to accept whatever interference the FM station may
cause, as is apparently the case here.  I think I even heard that both stations
will be transmitting from the same tower.
