Grandfathered Short-Spaced FM Stations

This Report and Order (R&O) in MM Docket No. 96-120 modifies a current rule to permit certain short-spaced stations to make changes based on a showing that no interference is caused or received, or if interference already exists, based on the total of such interference not being increased. The R&O also permits certain stations short-spaced to a second-adjacent-channel or a third-adjacent-channel station to change transmitter location or other station facilities without regard to such short-spacing, and to eliminate the need to obtain agreements by grandfathered stations proposing increased facilities. The types of modifications for this revised rule are expected to have no potential to increase interference to other stations.
