This software update also provides KBRT transmitter site that spanned a couple of days. for a low-to-high order of priority in max power We have the transmitter wired to the generator lockouts. Lower power lockouts take priority over transfer switch so that whenever the generator is higher power lockouts, so we need to re-order our supplying power to the site, the power output of the power lockouts from low to high instead of the transmitter is capped at 35 kW. This affects the current somewhat random order. Another issue that station very little because with MDCL active it is a was corrected was the need for the remote selection rare thing for the carrier power to climb over 35 kW of max power lockouts to operate independently of to begin with (that only happens during periods of the remote/local status of the transmitter – remote silence).

Satellite Changes I mentioned above that we will in the coming months be replacing the satellite equipment at KBRT, KNSN, KCBC and KKPZ. This has been in the works for some time as a means to provide for a (sometimes) separate feed to KNSN in San Diego. What we did not know when we ordered the equipment was that our long-time space-segment and equipment provider, Clear Channel Satellite, would be closing its doors.

    BEFORE THE Federal Communications Commission WASHINGTON, DC 20554 In the Matter of ) ) All-Digital AM Broadcasting ) MB Docket No. 19-311 ) ) Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) MB Docket No. 13-249 ) ) ) To: The Commission COMMENTS OF THE CRAWFORD BROADCASTING COMPANY Crawford Broadcasting Company (“Crawford”) and its affiliates are licensees of 15 AM commercial broadcast stations1, all but two of which currently operate in the hybrid analog/digital mode. As such, we have great interest in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to permit all AM stations to broadcast an all-digital signal using the HD Radio in-band on-channel (IBOC) mode known as MA3 on a voluntary basis (“Notice”), and we offer the following comments in support of this petition. I. Benefits of All-Digital AM Transmissions It has been well established for more than a decade of operation by many of our stations in the MA1 hybrid digital mode that AM stations stand to gain a great deal from digital operation. Greatly improved audio quality is at the forefront, with audio bandwidth comparable to FM broadcasts, stereo audio and receiver display of title/artist or program title information. When a receiver locks in the digital mode to one of our stations, particularly one playing music, as the receiver blends from analog to digital, the contrast is dramatic. The highs and lows of the audio open up, the stereo image widens out, and the noise that seems to be ever present on almost any AM frequency disappears. Listeners experiencing this effect for the first time are quite often amazed at how good an AM broadcast can sound in this mode.

    BEFORE THE Federal Communications Commission WASHINGTON, DC 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Elimination of Main Studio Rule ) MB Docket No. 17-106 ) ) ) ) To: The Commission COMMENTS OF THE CRAWFORD BROADCASTING COMPANY Crawford Broadcasting Company (“Crawford”) and its affiliates are licensees of 14 AM and 9 FM commercial broadcast stations1. As such, we have great interest in the Commission’s efforts to eliminate the main studio rule, and we applaud the Commission’s efforts in this matter. We tender the following comments in response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. A. A Local Main Studio is Unnecessary for the Public to Participate in Programming Many of Crawford’s stations program “God and Country” formats consisting of either religious talk, political talk or a combination of the two. These stations feature live talk including on-air guests and callers. As such, our stations are often plugged into the local community much more than stations programming music and other entertainment formats. Voices of individuals from our communities are heard on many of our stations on a daily basis. It has been our experience in recent years that it is seldom necessary for people to come to our studios in order to participate in our programming. Just about anyone can call in by telephone and gain access, and others make use of audio-over-IP codecs and other devices to convey programming from their locations to our studios. Even some of our on-air hosts do not come into our studios daily but rather do their live shows from their homes using such codecs and other devices.
