EXHIBIT A TECHNICAL STATEMENT WMRNIFM), FACILITY ID 52042 CITICASTERS LICENSES, INC, INC. MDIO MULTIPLE OWNERSHIP ANALYSIS 11/05/2002 This statement and the attached figures were prepared on behalf of Citicasters Licenses, lnc, Inc. ("CLI"), a licensee subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications, Inc. CLI proposes to modify the facilities of WMRN(FM) . A multiple ownership analysis was prepared considering the following radio stations under present or proposed common ownership or time brokerage: ~~Table I: Proposed CommonXOwned or Programmed Stations Studied Call Sign City State Freq WZNW COLUMBUS OH 1230 WTVN COLUMBUS OH 610 WMRN-FM MARION OH 106.9 WFJX HlLLlARD OH 105.7 WNCl COLUMBUS OH 97.9 waio MOUNT VERNON OH 93.7 WCOL-FM COLUMBUS OH 92.3 W FCB CHILLICOTHE OH 93.3 Since certain of these stations have overlapping principal community contours (5 mV/m for AM stations, 3.16 mV/m for FM stations), an ownership study has been prepared in accordance with the Federal Communications Commission's multiple ownership rules'. CLI does not have an attributable interest in any other station with a principal community contour that overlaps or intersects the existing facility of WMRN (FM). Radio _._____Markets The "radio market" applicable to common ownership of the subject stations is defined as the area encompassed by the mutually overlapping principal community contours of the proposed commonly owned stations. These mutually overlapping contours form two "radio markets," as shown in Figure 1, for analysis under the Commission's rules. ' see 47 C.F.R. s 73.3555. Radio Market "1" is defined by the mutually overlapping principal community contours of WMRN(FM), WQIO(FM), WNCI (FM), and WTVN(AM). The predicted principal community contours of these stations (3 FM, 1 AM) are shown in Figure 1. Radio Market "2" is defined by the mutually overlapping principal community contours of WMRN (FM), WFJX (FM) , WCOL-FM, WNCI (FM), WZNW (AM) and WTVN(AM) The predicted principal community contours of these stations (4 FM, 2 AM) are shown in Figure 1. Count of Stations in Defined Markets The number of radio stations in a "radio market" is determined by counting the operating, commercial stations having principal community contours that overlap or intersect the principal community contours that define the radio market, plus the subject commonly owned or controlled stations. In Radio Market "1" studied herein, there are over 50 radio stations, including the subject co-owned stations that overlap or intersect with the defined "radio market." Exhibit 1 is the tabulation of the radio stations identified in the market. In Radio Market "2" studied herein, there are over 50 radio stations, including the subject co-owned stations that overlap or intersect with the defined "radio market." Exhibit 1 is the tabulation of the radio stations identified in the market. Only known licensed, operating commercial stations were included in this tabulation. Distances to contour6 for AM stations were predicted using the antenna patterns as identified in the Commission's AM database and the appropriate Ground Wave Field Strength versus Distance Graph of 47 C.F.R. § 73.184. Ground conductivities were obtained from FCC Figure M3. Distances to the FM contours were determined based on the method of 47 C.F.R. § 73.313. Terrain data was derived from the N.G.D.C. 30 second computer database for each of the FM etations uaing radials spaced every 10 degrees of azimuth. Based on the above, it is concluded that the proposed modifications comply with 5 73.3555(a) of the FCC Rules. Sincerely, J FCC Engineering Specialist Citicasters Licenses, Inc, Inc Fiaure 1 Zxhibit 1, Count of Stations in Market Because co-owned station WTVN (AM) Columbus, OH is common to all "radio markets" this tabulation is of stations with principal community contours that overlap in whole or in part the principal community contour of WTVN. Two tables and maps are a part of this exhibit. Table 1, and Figure 1 of this exhibit depict only AM stations with overlapping contours, while Exhibit land Figure 2 of this exhibit depict only FM stations with overlapping contours. Table 1.
