WTIC must switch to night pattern earlier

[Sid Schweiger]

>>Has anyone noticed that WTIC Hartford has been ordered to switch to
their nighttime pattern at local sunset instead of Dallas sunset?  A
friend of mine pointed this out, and the document is at:

http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-08-2455A1.pdf

This is because of action filed by two Michigan stations--WCAR Livonia
(1090) and WOAP Waverly (1080) that feel their signals are being
interfered with by WTIC's skywave signal between Hartford and Dallas
sunsets.<<

That is NOT what it says.  The only part of WTIC's license that's being modified is its entitlement to skywave protection between Hartford sunset and Dallas sunset (in FCC parlance, its "extended daytime operation").  The license modification will specify groundwave-only protection during those hours.  Its power/pattern change times are NOT affected.
