I don't know that there's any precedent.  It would require a "major
change window", which has either happened or been announced recently,
I forget which.  I don't know if the law specifies an expiration date
for the original reservations or not.  It ought to be possible, given
some of the other ex-band precedents, to apply for a new ex-band
station on any non-interfering frequency in that location -- if there
were actually anyone interested in a new AM station at the high end of
the dial in a region with awful ground conductivity and strong NIMBYs.

Paging professor Fybush!
