MULTIPLE OWNERSHIP CONSIDERATIONS Blueberry Broadcasting, LLC
EXHIBIT 5 (Page 1 of 8) MULTIPLE OWNERSHIP CONSIDERATIONS Blueberry Broadcasting, LLC. The proposed modifications to the WMCM(FM) and WQSS(FM) operating facilities will continue to comply with the local radio ownership restrictions outlined in Section 73.3555 of the FCC Rules. WMCM and WQSS have and will continue to have overlap with four other commonly owned stations in the area:1 WABK-FM - Gardner, Maine WVQM(FM)- Augusta, Maine WBAK(FM) - Belfast, Maine WVOM(AM) - Rockland, Maine Neither WMCM nor WQSS is considered to be “home” to any Nielsen Audio metro market. Furthermore, neither Rockland nor Camden is located within the boundaries of any metro market. For this reason, as required by Paragraph 286 of the FCC’s July 2, 2003 Report and Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in MB Dockets 02-277, 01- 235, 01-317, 00-244, and 03-130, it was necessary to conduct contour overlap studies2 for these commonly owned stations. Figure 5.0 is a map exhibit depicting the principal community contours for these six stations. The 5 mV/m daytime contour for WVOM was projected utilizing the notified daytime facilities from the FCC’s Consolidated Database System (“CDBS”) and soil con- ductivity data from FCC Figure M3. The 3.16 mV/m contours for WABK-FM, WVQM, 1Blueberry Broadcasting has other commonly owned stations in the area, but they do not have any principal community contour overlap with WMCM or WQSS and, therefore, were not analyzed as part of this analysis. Nor were they counted as stations in the market if their site was inside the composite con- tour.

Willingness to Walk Maine sophomore at mid-years was suddenly faced with the necessity of adjusting his campus life from fraternity house to cabin. There the only luxuries provided were a roof and a chance under it to study, a stove and Astumpage. Another more unfavorable change removed the source of income for even term-bill and uncooked food, and of necessity he left the University just as the Student Library campaign was being conducted. None of us is so far removed from our own undergraduate days that some of the effects of such changes cannot be appreciated. Yet this young man, because he knew how much a University Library was needed, gave to the Library fund the money he had saved for trans portation home. Generally Maine women and Maine men, and others who fall under Maine’s influence, do give when a great and good need is known and understood.
