SUMMARY

These Reply Comments are submitted by the AM Radio Preservation Alliance

(the “Alliance”) addressing those proposals in the Commission’s Further Notice of Proposed

Rule Making, FCC 15-142, MB Docket No. 13-249 (the “FNPRM”) to alter interference

protections for Class A AM stations and to reduce the protected daytime contours for Class B, C

and D AM stations. These FNPRM proposals, and the variations thereof suggested by certain

commenters, would do more harm than good, and if adopted, would undermine the efforts to

revitalize the AM radio service undertaken in the Commission’s First Report and Order in this

proceeding.

The Alliance Comments filed in this docket submitted evidence, grounded in

audience data, listener responses and engineering studies, establishing that the FNPRM proposals

to protect Class A AM stations only to their 0.1 mV/m groundwave contour from co-channel

stations and to eliminate critical hours protections for Class A AM stations would deprive

potentially tens of millions of listeners, especially those in remote and American Indian areas, of

access to quality programming and emergency weather and other news and information; would

weaken key links in the chain of the nation’s IPAWS/EAS emergency networks; would deny

listeners access to favored professional and collegiate sports teams carried on Class A AM

stations; and would undermine the already tenuous economic underpinnings of AM broadcasting.

Notwithstanding the unsupported speculation of some commenters that Class A

AM distant listening is a myth, the Alliance Comments demonstrated quite the contrary,

substantiating a current audience of nearly one-half million Class A AM listeners, tuning in for a

collective 8.6 million hours of radio listening each month, in the zones that would be subject to

interference under the FNPRM Class A proposals. And based on listener responses for a sample of just 19 of the 57 Class A AM stations in the contiguous 48 states, the Alliance Comments placed in the record extensive comments from dedicated Class A AM listeners attesting to their appreciation of, and reliance on, Class A AM distant reception. Yet these consumers, and the many more existing listeners they represent, would be subject to devastating signal interference under the proposals of the FNPRM and of certain commenters to cut back on Class A AM protections. As observed by one commenter, the FNPRM Class A proposal, while well- intentioned, “threatens to diminish useful class A service while offering little real-world improvement to other stations’ signals in return.”

The invaluable, and at this time irreplaceable, role of Class A AM stations in the nation’s emergency alert system was highlighted by the Alliance Comments, the Comments of

FEMA Project Manager and Engineer Alfred S. Kenyon, III, and other commenters.

Mr. Kenyon urges the Commission not to undertake the proposals to change Class A AM interference protections as “[s]uch action will cause permanent irreversible damage” and

“[i]ncreasing the authorized noise and interference level on Class A channels will cause significant service reductions to the Class A AM PEP stations while only offering limited interference free service gains for stations which might benefit from the proposed change to

Class A skywave protections.”

The Alliance Comments substantiated the value of Class A AM service to those in rural areas and those traveling on the road. Other commenters, including members of the public, concur, reminding the Commission of Class A AM stations’ essential function in informing, entertaining, and communicating with citizens in rural areas, as well as travelers and truckers on our nation’s roads. As put by one commenter: “At night, these protected [Class A] stations are often the only listenable AM broadcasts for listeners in small towns and cities or for motorists on

the road.” In addition to a disproportionate negative impact on rural areas, the Alliance

Comments established that the FNPRM Class A AM proposals would also subject substantial

numbers of residents on American Indian lands to potential signal interference.

As evidenced by audience data submitted by the Alliance, Class A AM stations

serve as Anchor Stations, attracting listeners to and keeping them tuned into the AM band.

Proposals to reduce Class A AM interference-free service areas would drive those listeners from

the AM band, to the detriment of the viability of AM radio service. Moreover, Class A AM

stations are the long-standing venue for the broadcast of professional and collegiate play-by-play

and sports talk programming. As exemplified by the many sports teams filing comments in this

docket, Class A AM stations’ wide-ranging signal is a primary selling point for these franchises.

For example, as expressed by the New York Mets: “As a Class A ‘clear channel’ station, WOR

is uniquely capable of reaching our fans who live hundreds of miles away. We understand the

Commission has suggested to allow greater interference to Class A stations, including WOR,

potentially degrading the signal quality and afternoon and nighttime listening experience of our

fans in more remote areas, as well as local fans throughout the day. It would be intolerable for

our fans, as well as for the New York Mets, and we seek your assurance that we can continue to

rely on AM radio to continue to deliver a strong, interference-free signal to our fans, and provide

them with continued access to free, live coverage of our games.”

The FNPRM proposal to eliminate skywave factors from Class A AM protections was documented by the Alliance as disturbing interference protection within the core areas of

Class A AM stations, not just for distant listeners. Even those primary engineering consulting firms lobbying for some reduced interference protections have urged the Commission to retain protections for Class A AM stations against skywave incursions. As stated by one such firm,

iii ignoring incoming skywave contributors’ signals yields “devastating and unacceptable reduction of the Class A station’s nighttime interference-free coverage area.” Likewise, the Alliance demonstrated that elimination of critical hours protections for Class A AM stations would open the band to immediate and disastrous interference, and these engineering consulting firms also concur. Explained one such firm: “Critical hours protection of class A stations should not be eliminated . . . . Daytime skywave, which is the effect which critical hours protects against, is a real phenomenon….”

Those commenters calling for modifications of the FNPRM proposal to reduce interference protections for Class A AM stations by protecting only the 0.5 mV/m groundwave contour, or that contour along with a skywave factor, speculate that there are no current listeners outside these alternate zones. That premise is contradicted by the nearly one-half million

Nielsen-documented audience that tunes into Class A AM stations in the FNPRM-proposed interference zones and the distant listeners who have taken the time to emphatically describe their reliance on the unique programming, news, weather and emergency alerts of Class A AM stations, as submitted in this docket. The Reply Comments here provide additional evidence of dedicated, current Class A AM listeners outside the 0.5 mV/m groundwave contours, defying the speculation that such listeners are a “myth.”

In respect to the Class B and D stations seeking to increase operations on clear channels with greater power or expanded hours if Class A AM protections were reduced, such

“improvements” would result in extremely abbreviated real world service. As expressed by one commenter: “The effect of multiple such new operations will be even worse, creating cacophony over a broad area where there is now useful secondary service – and, even more critically, raising the noise floor in such a way as to wipe out a significant portion of the coverage gain any

iv individual station would otherwise obtain.”

The Alliance also urged the Commission not to adopt the FNPRM proposal to reduce the protected daytime primary service contour for all Class B, C and D AM stations to the

2 mV/m contour. The Alliance Comments included representative engineering analyses, showing that while one AM station might obtain power gains (at higher utility costs) and some close-in population gains under the Commission’s FNPRM daytime proposal, it would be at the extensive expense of neighboring AM stations and their audiences and the integrity of the

AM band as a whole. The Reply Comments here supply desired/undesired signal analyses for these representative stations, which further establishes that this FNPRM proposal would result in far more interference on the AM band, both for the “upgrading” station and its neighbors. The

National Association of Broadcasters, after commissioning a study of the 2 mV/m contour proposal, concluded that “modifying the daytime protections for Class B, C and D stations is a complicated approach that may benefit some stations while negatively impacting others and producing unintentional consequences.”

The Commission has set out on the right path for AM revitalization with its First

Report and Order. It should not diverge from that path by adopting non-consensus reductions in interference protections that would cause more harm than good to the listening public. While the proposals, and variations thereof, to reduce interference protections for Class A AM stations on the one hand, and for Class B, C and D stations, on the other hand, might well lead to some short-term revitalization of business for AM engineering consultants and equipment manufacturers, for the vast majority of AM licensees, it would be a potentially irreversible step toward extinction.

REPLY COMMENTS OF THE AM RADIO PRESERVATION ALLIANCE ON FURTHER NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULE MAKING

These Reply Comments are submitted in MB Docket No. 13-249. The AM Radio

Preservation Alliance (the “Alliance”) 1/ filed Comments on March 21, 2016 (the “Alliance

Comments”) addressing certain proposals in the Commission’s Further Notice of Proposed Rule

Making (the “FNPRM”), FCC 15-142 (rel. Oct. 23, 2015). 2/ The fact-based, empirical record in

this Docket supports the Alliance’s positions.

I. THE COMMISSION SHOULD NOT LESSEN THE INTERFERENCE PROTECTIONS FOR CLASS A AM STATIONS

The Alliance Comments documented with engineering analyses that protecting

Class A AM stations only to their 0.1 mV/m groundwave contour from co-channel stations, as

proposed in the FNPRM, versus the current nighttime protection to the 0.5 mV/m-50 percent

The Class A AM radio stations licensed to the members (or to their respective licensee subsidiaries) of The AM Radio Preservation Alliance are listed on Exhibit A. 2/ In the Matter of Revitalization of the AM Radio Service, First Report and Order, Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making, and Notice of Inquiry, 30 FCC Rcd 12145 (2015) (“FNPRM”).

skywave contour, as well as the FNPRM proposal to eliminate the critical hours protection of

Class A AM stations, would: deprive potentially tens of millions of listeners, especially those in remote and American Indian areas, of access to quality programming and emergency weather and other news and information; weaken key links in the chain of the nation’s IPAWS/EAS emergency networks; deny listeners access to favored professional and collegiate sports teams carried on Class A AM stations; and undermine the already tenuous economic underpinnings of

AM broadcasting. See Alliance Comments at 4-33; Exhibits B-P. These FNPRM proposals clearly would do far more harm than good for both the Class A AM stations and their listeners and for the economic viability of the AM band as a whole.

The Alliance Comments substantiated not only that the areas subject to interference under the FNPRM Class A skywave and critical hours protection proposals are home to millions, including millions in rural and American Indian areas, but also that existing, dedicated Class A AM listeners would be impacted by the FNPRM Class A proposals.

Specifically, the Alliance Comments cited Nielsen Audio audience data that establishes that these new proposed interference zones include more than 450,000 documented current Class A

AM station listeners. See Alliance Comments at 7-8. Moreover, this Class A AM listenership represents a noteworthy 8.6 million hours of radio listening each month. See id. Additionally, the Alliance Comments placed in the record of this proceeding 39 pages of responses from current skywave listeners, based on just a sampling of Class A AM stations, which listeners would be exposed to interference under the FNPRM’s proposals. See Alliance Comments at

8-12 and Exhibit E. 3/ Yet, the FNPRM would sacrifice these established AM listeners for illusory and unsubstantiated “gains” by other AM stations, when instead more interference, and less listening, on the AM band would be the end result.

B. Disinterested Commenters Recognize the Harm to the Public Interest of the FNPRM’s Proposals to Reduce or Eliminate Class A AM Nighttime Skywave and Critical Hours Protections

In addition to the Class A AM licensee Alliance members, other experienced commenters have urged the Commission not to adopt the FNPRM Class A proposals, warning of the harm to the public interest.

Examples of those cautioning the Commission not to adopt the Class A proposals include Scott Fybush, a Journalist and Analyst covering the broadcast industry, and a consultant on signal improvement and acquisitions. Mr. Fybush notes that the FNPRM Class A proposal, while well-intentioned, “threatens to diminish useful class A service while offering little real- world improvement to other stations’ signals in return.” 4/ Professional Engineer Edgar C. Reihl states: “The Commission should continue to protect the daytime and nighttime service area of

Class A stations to the fullest extent possible and should not degrade reception of these important stations in the hope that a few more listeners to local co-channel stations might benefit.” 5/

REC Networks observes: “By eliminating the nighttime skywave protections, we are creating a

3/ As explained in the Comments at n.23, the Class A skywave listeners at Exhibit E were narrowed down to provide only those listeners whose zip codes are from locations outside of the respective Class A AM station’s 0.1 mV/m groundwave contour, and thus constitute those current listeners who would be exposed to interference under the FNPRM’s proposals. Moreover, these surveys represent just 19 of the 57 Class A AM stations in the contiguous 48 U.S. states, and thus are only representative samples of the dedicated skywave listenership throughout the nation. 4/ See Scott Fybush (“Fybush”) Comments at 2. 5/ See Edgar C Reihl, P.E. (“Reihl”) Comments at 2.

3 new mess of stations that will be propagating and while a very small area may receive an improvement, significant areas of the nighttime skywave service area of an AM station that has been a staple in those areas for decades will suddenly be lost.” 6/ Engineer and licensee Steven

R. Bartholomew opines: “The FCC should not take any action that would adversely impact the ability of these [Class A] AM stations to continue serving their respective markets. Otherwise, one possible end result could be creating small islands of service in a sea of interference. In addition, these Class A stations provide service to widely dispersed portions of the country where no other free, over-the-air audio service exists.” 7/ Veteran station engineer Powell E.

Way III comments: “[The FNPRM] proposal to eliminate skywave protection to A class licensees and only protect to the 0.1 ground wave. It won’t work. Skywave does not go by proposed rules.” 8/ Kevin Tekel observes: “As past experience with raising nighttime power levels of Class C ‘graveyard channel’ stations has shown, allowing small local stations to increase nighttime power levels provides only a marginal improvement in coverage area, due to the corresponding increase in co-channel skywave interference. The benefit to few local listeners would be more than offset by the loss of much larger population areas which could receive the skywave signals from the 50 kW Class A stations, especially in the aftermath of natural disasters when many smaller stations are off the air and TV, Internet, and mobile phone

6/ See REC Networks (“REC”) Comments at 2. 7/ See Steven R. Bartholomew Comments at 2. 8/ See Powell E. Way III Comments. Mr. Way adds: “So [I] conclude that especially on class A frequencies, that allowing night power [increases by non-Class A stations] would substantially cause interference well inside their night coverage areas. I see a lot of influential consulting engineers thinking it won’t be a problem. They don’t listen to radio as much as I do. Where I live there is NO cable TV, NO DSL, and shaky cell coverage. My internet is on a MiFi, and it is very expensive, and has a restrictive data cap.” Id.

4 service is unavailable.” 9/

From long-time AM listener Glenn A. Walsh: “The major advantage of AM radio is long-distance broadcasting. If you create more interference for stations which have been successfully providing a good long-distance service for nearly a century, you are degrading the most valuable aspect of AM radio!” 10/ Member of the public and “longtime fan of radio and

AM radio” Scott Toenniessen observes: “Reducing protection for the clear channel stations simply will cause more interference in their local coverage areas as well as eliminate their sky wave service in favor of noise. A change such as this would likely be the final nail in the coffin for AM.” 11/ C. Crane states: “One of the biggest concerns for losing this [Class A AM] protection is the unintended consequences. The FCC claim of how these changes will work out is actually a theory while the reality of implementation will be different. Unfortunately this is not a ‘try again’ situation if the results are considered horrible by some listeners. It is a situation best served with the idea of ‘doing no harm’.” 12/ Allen Dunkin, who does “not ‘have a horse in this race,’” disagrees with the FNPRM Class A proposals: “In many areas, the only AM stations that garner any significant ratings are the big 50,000 watt ClassǦA stations and they are often the

9/ See Kevin Tekel (“Tekel”) Comments. 10/ See Glenn A. Walsh (“Walsh”) Comments at 2. 11/ See Scott Toenniessen Comments at 1. Mr. Toenniessen further explains: “During my frequent travels to upstate NY I am able to stay in touch with my home town via WBZ and also listen to WLS, WPHT, WHAS, etc. … I am not alone in finding this sky wave service useful. Simply listen to a station like WBZ, Boston at night and notice the large number of distant listeners from all over the east coast and midǦwest calling in to the station keeping in mind only a fraction of the listeners ever call in so the overall distance listenership is significant.” Id. 12/ See C. Crane (“Crane”) Comments at 1. Crane also notes: “There are many people who can’t afford, don’t have or don’t want access to WiFi or cellular services. The proposed FCC [Class A AM] changes could irreversibly affect those who rely on that AM radio signal each night to be informed and entertained.” Id.

only reason anyone would even tune to AM. Remove their signal advantage; increase the

interference to these stations and many of those listeners will have no reason to bother with

AM.” 13/

C. The FNPRM Proposals to Alter Class A AM Protections Would Harm Our Nation’s Emergency Communications

As stressed in the Alliance Comments, Class A AM stations, with their wide-area reach and established presence, perform an irreplaceable role in providing the public with critical and often life-saving information in times of severe weather, natural and man-made disasters and other emergency and public safety events, a role which would be undermined if the FNPRM changes were adopted. See Alliance Comments at 15-20. As noted in the Alliance Comments,

25 Class A AM stations are Primary Entry Point (“PEP”) stations in cooperation with the Federal

Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and

30 Class A AM stations are Local Primary One, or “LP-1” stations. See Alliance Comments at

19-20 and Exhibits K and L. Thus, the contraction of current protected Class A AM service, as

would be the case under the FNPRM proposals, has the potential to disrupt this established

emergency notification system.

This unintended negative consequence is underscored by Alfred S. Kenyon, III, a

Project Manager and Engineer with FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert and Warning System

(“IPAWS”). 14/ In his Comments, Mr. Kenyon urges the Commission not to reduce co-channel

nighttime skywave protection for Class A AM stations, as “[s]uch action will cause permanent

irreversible damage” by limiting the effective reach of the PEP system. 15/ Mr. Kenyon states

13/ See Allen Dunkin (“Dunkin”) Comments. 14/ See Alfred S. Kenyon, III Comments. 15/ See id. at 2.

that “Class A AM PEP stations are a unique resource. Many PEP stations are equipped to

survive events ranging from solar flare to a man-made [electromagnetic pulse] event either of

which could damage the power grid or cripple many alternative information sources such as

broadband through disruption of first and last mile connectivity. Increasing the authorized noise

and interference level on Class A channels will cause significant service reductions to the

Class A AM PEP stations while only offering limited interference free service gains for stations

which might benefit from the proposed change to Class A skywave protections.” 16/

Additional commenters have focused on the unique and irreplaceable function of

Class A AM stations in emergencies in entreating the Commission to leave Class A AM interference protections alone. 17/ Mr. Fybush states: “Degrading the coverage of class A AM

facilities will also have an irreversible detrimental effect on emergency service…. AM skywave

coverage is free, ubiquitous and as close to indestructible as any medium in communications

history…class A AM broadcasters are likely to be the last communications media still standing

in case of massive destruction or war.” 18/ Lester S. Rayburn reminds the Commission: “Clear

16/ Id. 17/ Some commenters recommend that the Commission increase the power of Class A AM stations so that they may more effectively serve the public. See, e.g., Dunkin Comments (increase power of Class A AM stations to 100,000 watts, or 500,000 watts where possible); John Pavlica, Jr. Comments at 2 (authorize Class A AM station power increases to 500 or 750 kilowatts). 18/ See Fybush Comments at 4-5. See also Cohen, Dippell and Everist, P.C. Comments at 2- 7 (would need to have a substitute full proof communications system that covers the entire United States and general population in the event of a major catastrophic event before FNPRM changes to Class A AM could be adopted); Dunkin Comments (“Online services, cellular service etc is very unreliable during many emergencies.”); Crane Comments at 2 (“We all take the Internet for granted and in our opinion it is unlikely it will ever fail catastrophically. If it did fail the U.S. has no backup system which would plunge our great country into complete chaos. Until we are sure it can’t fail why eliminate 50,000 watt clear channel AM stations. They would be

Channel AM Radio is a national treasure and a resource. The ability to relay vital emergency information over wide geographic areas, using the simplest of equipment and without the benefit of satellites, cellular, or Internet networks is something that deserves not only the full protection of the FCC, but if anything expansion.” 19/ Mr. Dunkin recalls: “AM radio and specifically the big ClassǦA stations have been proven over and over again to be the best method of informing the public over a wide area. When Hurricane Katrina was ravaging New Orleans and in the days that followed I, along with tens of thousands of others was able to stay upǦtoǦdate on what was happening via [Class A] 870ǦWWL. NO other Louisiana station was capable of doing that.” 20/

Clearly, diminishing the interference-free service areas of Class A AM stations, as proposed in the FNPRM and by certain commenters, would undermine the indispensable role

Class A AM stations play in the IPAWS/EAS systems, upsetting the carefully crafted nationwide emergency system our citizens depend upon, as well as interfering with the communications service that the populace relies upon in times of need.

D. Rural and American Indian Areas and Travelers Would Be Especially Hard Hit by The FNPRM Class A AM Proposals

The Alliance Comments documented that Class A AM stations would face service protection losses to millions of persons per station from the proposed shrinkage of protected nighttime service to only the 0.1 mV/m groundwave contour, with rural and American Indian

the only possible backup source of information capable of spanning the nation.”). 19/ See Lester S. Rayburn (“Rayburn”) Comments. 20/ See Dunkin Comments. See also Rayburn Comments (“During Hurricane’s Katrina and Rita, I witnessed firstǦhand as refugees from the storm who found shelter in our neighborhood [in Alabama] huddled around car radios in driveways to listen to [Class A AM] WWL in New OrleansǦǦseeking and finding information about their homes.”); Steven Turner Comments (“keeping these [Class A AM] stations’ nighttime service areas open and serving large geographical areas is critical for our nation and its national security interests. Please keep this intact!”).

8 areas disproportionately hard hit. See Alliance Comments at 6-7 and Exhibits C and D.

Moreover, the Alliance Comments excerpted sample comments from current Class A AM skywave listeners in rural areas who rely on Class A AM radio’s far reach and value its programming. See Alliance Comments at 8-12, 22-23.

Moreover, the news, weather, traffic and emergency information and entertainment programming provided by Class A AM stations are relied on by this nation’s truckers, many of whom submitted comments to their favorite Class A AM stations to urge the

Commission not to undermine this treasured source of information. See id. at 22-23 and

Exhibit E.

Other commenters also spoke to the unique ability of Class A AM stations to serve non-metropolitan areas and travelers: “At night, these protected [Class A] stations are often the only listenable AM broadcasts for listeners in small towns and cities or for motorists on the road.” 21/; “For those who travel across America’s roads into the evening and overnight, the clear channel AM stations provide the only free information and entertainment that does not require constant re-tuning of the radio….” 22/; “There’s something magic about driving down the road in the dark, listening to radio stations from across the continent. …What [the FCC] will do is to kill off the really useful and unique service remaining on AM radio, which is those big highǦpowered stations that can and do offer some unique and desirable programming. This seems to be a solution in search of a problem.”; 23/ “taking away the nighttime skywave protection for the Class A AM stations would be a huge mistake. These 50,000 watt AM radio

21/ See Reihl Comments at 4. 22/ See REC Comments at 2. 23/ See Chris Campbell Comments.

stations are an invaluable asset if there ever was a major civil emergency and provide large parts

of rural America with more programing choices then local stations provide. Allowing more low

power stations on these frequencies would only create more interference while taking away

existing choices, many of whom have live and local programing, including news, major league

sports, talk shows and even both live and recorded music.” 24/

The Commission should listen to the voices of these citizens who do not want to lose a treasured and irreplaceable asset: Class A AM long-distance service.

E. Class A AM Station’s “Anchor Station” Role In Attracting Listeners to the AM Band with High Quality Programming Would Be Undermined by the FNPRM Class A AM Proposals

The Alliance Comments also detailed that under the FNPRM proposals to allow

increased interference to Class A AM stations, Class A AM listeners would face the loss of

access to the high quality programming these “Anchor Stations” of the AM band provide, as

exemplified by Class A station WGN(AM), Chicago, Illinois, which broadcasts a 24/7 live,

full-service format that includes talk, news, information, weather, sports, religion and politics,

with its programming, news and engineering departments staffed 24/7. See Alliance Comments

at 20-23. Other examples of high quality service highlighted in the Alliance Comments are the

90-year tradition of broadcasts of the Grand Ole Opry by Class A station WSM(AM), Nashville,

Tennessee and the sports and political coverage aired by Class A station WSB(AM), Atlanta,

Georgia. See id. at 21-22.

As documented in the Alliance Comments, Class A AM stations reach more than

22 million listeners per week, more than half of whom – 14 million – choose to listen to no other

AM radio stations. See id. at 5 and Exhibit B. Serving as Anchor Stations, Class A AM stations

24/ See Allen F. Gilliard III Comments.

10 drive listeners to the AM band, and thus strong Class A AM stations are indispensable to the future sustainability of the AM band. Doing harm to Class A AM stations, as the FNPRM proposals would demonstratively do, will do harm to the viability of the AM band.

As explained in the Alliance Comments, Class A AM radio stations historically have played an important role in providing sports fans over a wide area with free, live broadcasts of games of their favorite teams; the FNPRM’s proposals, if adopted, would deprive large numbers of loyal and vocal sports fans of their ability to listen to radio broadcasts of professional and collegiate sports teams and associated sports talk programming. 25/ The Alliance Comments noted by way of example Class A Station WGN(AM), which is home to the Chicago

Blackhawks hockey team and Northwestern University football and basketball; WGN(AM)’s wide-ranging signal is a primary selling point for these franchises, particularly since these sports games are generally played at night. See Alliance Comments at 21 and Exhibit M.

Professional and collegiate sports teams have individually filed Comments in this docket to reiterate that they rely on Class A AM stations to reach their fans, and to ask the

Commission to stay away from rule changes that would undercut this wide area service. For example, as expressed by the New York Mets: “As a Class A ‘clear channel’ station, WOR [the

New York Mets Flagship Station] is uniquely capable of reaching our fans who live hundreds of miles away. We understand the Commission has suggested to allow greater interference to

25/ See Alliance Comments at 23-24; see also Tekel Comments (“Many listeners also use AM skywave reception to enjoy play-by-play broadcasts of distant sports teams without needing to pay for premium cable TV channels or satellite radio.”).

Class A stations, including WOR, potentially degrading the signal quality and afternoon and

nighttime listening experience of our fans in more remote areas, as well as local fans throughout

the day. It would be intolerable for our fans, as well as for the New York Mets, and we seek

your assurance that we can continue to rely on AM radio to continue to deliver a strong,

interference-free signal to our fans, and provide them with continued access to free, live

coverage of our games.” 26/

Similarly relying on the strength of Class A AM radio to reach fans, the Seattle

Mariners state: “In addition to being committed to fielding the best team that we possibly can, one of our highest priorities is to ensure that our fans have easy and dependable access to the games we play. Over many decades, there has been no more sure way to provide that enjoyment to our fans than through free, over-the-air radio that reaches throughout the listening area of large

Class A AM stations. Our ‘local’ fan base is not limited to the vicinity of our home field or to

the proximate location of the radio station that broadcasts our games; our ‘home town’ fans

stretch literally across hundreds of miles. These distant fans are committed to us, and we have

an obligation to serve them. The Commission’s proposed new interference rules would

undermine that obligation.” 27/

Other commenting sports teams likewise urging the Commission not to enact rule changes that would result in more interference to the reception of sports on Class A AM stations

The assumptions made by some commenters that Class A stations somehow reap

no revenues by attracting distant listeners – or that such revenues are unnecessary to maintain the

high quality programming to maintain their listenership – are just that, assumptions, which are

not based in the reality of AM broadcasting. As explained by a Class A AM sports programming

partner: “the proposed changes to the interference rules, if adopted, may be contrary to certain

basic assumptions governing relationships and contractual arrangements across the country,

between radio stations and institutions/organizations such as the University of Northern Iowa. In

entering into a broadcasting rights agreement, the coverage area of the broadcasting station may

often be considered. The proposed interference rules may change broadcasting station coverage

area, causing uncertainty in stable relationships and the possible need or desire for renegotiation

of existing contracts.” 35/

G. If the Commission Were to Eliminate Skywave Factors in Protecting Class A AM Service, Listeners in the Core Markets of Class A AM Stations Would Be Subject to Interference

The Alliance Comments also demonstrated with engineering studies that eliminating the current skywave protections to Class A AM stations, and thereby allowing

Class B and D stations greater operating power, would not only negatively impact regional and distant listeners of Class A AM stations, but also would undercut nighttime interference-free

(“NIF”) service in the core markets of Class A AM stations, to the detriment of in-market AM listeners. See Alliance Comments at 12-15 and Exhibit F. Even among the primary consulting

engineers who have been lobbying for some degree of reduced Class A protections, there is a

solid recognition that the Commission must continue to take into account skywave signals on

Class A AM “clear channels.” For example, each of the consulting engineering firms of

35/ See University of Northern Iowa Comments.

du Treil, Lundin & Rackley, Hatfield & Dawson Consulting Engineers, and Carl T. Jones

Corporation, while proposing a protected 0.5 mV/m groundwave contour for Class A AM

stations, also endorse retaining protections for Class A AM stations against skywave

incursions. 36/

Indeed, Carl T. Jones Corporation studies four Class A AM stations under the assumption that the nighttime groundwave interfering contour is the only nighttime interference protection criterion for Class A AM stations and concludes that ignoring incoming skywave contributors’ signals yields “devastating and unacceptable reduction of the Class A station’s

nighttime interference-free coverage area.” 37/ Likewise, du Treil, Lundin & Rackley state: “We

do not support the standard for nighttime protection of Class A stations that has been proposed by

the FCC. The proposed change could result in excessive nighttime skywave interference within

the coverage areas of Class A stations and severely restrict their ability to provide service to their

listeners.” 38/ Hatfield & Dawson Consulting Engineers also conclude that the FNPRM proposal

as set forth in the Federal Register “would allow egregious skywave interference to class A

stations, so long as the skywave interferer did not have groundwave overlap with the class A

36/ See du Treil, Lundin & Rackley (“dLR”) Comments at 4 (other stations making changes should have to show that they do not increase interference above 0.5 mV/m, or the 50% exclusion RSS interference free level, if higher, of any Class A station); Hatfield & Dawson Consulting Engineers (“H&D”) Comments at 2-3 (Class A stations should be protected against skywave interference to their 500 μV/m groundwave contour on an RSS basis, just as class B stations are protected to their nominal 2.0 mV/m contour); Carl T. Jones Corporation (“CTJC”) Comments at 1-3 (protect 0.5 mV/m groundwave contour for Class A stations, provided no overlap of the Class A station’s nighttime 0.5 mV/m protected groundwave contour from a potential interfering station’s 0.025 mV/m - 10% skywave contour). 37/ See CTJC Comments at 2-3. 38/ See dLR Comments at 4 (emphasis in original).

station.” 39/ Thus, the Alliance’s engineering analysis documenting diminished NIF in core

markets of Class A AM stations if skywave protections were eliminated, as well as these

consulting engineers’ evaluations, further underscores that the Commission must maintain

skywave protections for Class A AM stations. 40/

H. Critical Hours Protections Must Be Continued for Class A AM Stations

The foregoing three engineering consultant commenters, among others, also disagree with the FNPRM proposal to eliminate entirely critical hours protections for Class A stations. 41/ For example, du Treil, Lundin & Rackley state: “We do not support the FCC

proposal to eliminate critical hours protection of Class A stations. If it becomes possible for other

classes of station[s] to increase daytime power with the proposed rules, we believe that there will

be the potential for harm within the daytime coverage areas of Class A stations without any

39/ See H&D Comments at 2. See also Tekel Comments (“The proposed rule change also neglects to consider the impact of groundwave/skywave signal cancellation, which often renders nighttime reception in the fringe areas of a station’s daytime coverage poor or [unusable], due to the groundwave and skywave signals coming in simultaneously and cancelling each other out. …Thus, using an AM station’s groundwave contour fails to provide an accurate representation of its actual useful nighttime coverage, even if the same power level and antenna pattern is used at night.”). 40/ While affirming that protections against skywave signals should remain a factor for Class A AM stations, du Treil, Lundin & Rackley suggests that skywave protections should be calculated on a site-to-site basis in lieu of a protected contour basis. See dLR Comments at 4-5. The Alliance does not support this fundamental change in calculating protections, as it would have a similar, if albeit somewhat more muted, result as would the elimination of skywave factors, that is, the reduction of protection of Class A AM stations’ existing service to the public. It is noteworthy that contour protection differentiates Class A AM stations from all other classes, thereby providing a greater level of protection from future increases in overall interference levels, as without contour protection, increases up to the 50% RSS exclusion level would be allowed unfettered. 41/ See dLR Comments at 5; H&D Comments at 3; CTJC Comments at 4.

limitation on critical hours radiation toward them.” 42/ Similarly, Hatfield and Dawson are of

the following opinion: “Critical hours protection of class A stations should not be

eliminated . . . . Daytime skywave, which is the effect which critical hours protects against, is a

real phenomenon, based on instances of it we have observed particularly on certain north-south

west coast paths.” 43/

Likewise, the Alliance Comments documented with empirical studies that the elimination of critical hours protections would only serve to create immediate, unbearable interference in the AM band, not only “at great distances from the metropolitan area that constitutes the station’s primary service area,” but also within the close-in, supposedly-protected, groundwave contour of Class A AM stations. See Alliance Comments at 24-33 and

Exhibit P. 44/ The fact-based record here irrefutably supports rejection of the FNPRM proposal

to eliminate critical hours protection for Class A AM stations. 45/

The Alliance has established that the FNPRM Class A AM protection proposals

42/ See dLR Comments at 5 (emphasis in original). 43/ See H&D Comments at 3. 44/ Elimination or reduction of the pre-sunrise and post-sunset protections, as suggested by some commenters, would necessarily have similar negative impacts. 45/ du Treil, Lundin & Rackley and Hatfield & Dawson each suggest that critical hours protections for Class A AM stations should be retained in a modified form, to provide protection to the 0.5 mV/m (500 μV/m) groundwave contour of the Class A AM station, consistent with their views that currently protected skywave service is based on the “myth” of service to current listeners. See dLR Comments at 4-5; H&D Comments at 3. That supposition is addressed next.

would have severe damaging impact on established listeners. Yet some commenters suggest

reducing the Class A AM protected contour even further – to the 0.5 mV/m groundwave – in lieu

of the 0.1 mV/m groundwave proposed by the FNPRM, 46/ although as noted above, certain

commenters would couple that protected groundwave contour with skywave protections. The

underlying premise of the calls for instituting a reduced protected contour for Class A AM

stations, such as the 0.5 mV/m groundwave contour, is the assumption that AM listenership past

that contour does not happen in today’s real world – that such service is, as put by one

commenter, a “myth.” That premise is contradicted by the record here: the nearly one-half

million Nielsen-documented audience that tunes into Class A AM stations in the FNPRM-

proposed interference zones; the page after page of the Alliance Comments’ Exhibit E relaying

the distant listeners who are outside even the 0.1 mV/m groundwave, including truckers and rural

residents with no viable alternatives, who have taken the time to emphatically describe their

reliance on the unique programming, news, weather and emergency alerts of Class A AM

stations; and the multiple sports teams whose Comments described above confirm their reliance

on Class A AM stations’ wide-range coverage. 47/

Again to be clear, the empirical evidence provided by the Alliance Comments proves actual, current Class A AM listeners outside the respective Class A AM (in the contiguous 48 states) station’s 0.1 mV/m groundwave contour. Of course, there are additional

current Class A AM listeners that would be subject to interference if the protected contour was

46/ See, e.g., AM Broadcast Licensees Comments at 2; Charles M. Anderson (“Anderson”) Comments at 1. 47/ One of the reasons Class A AM station signals are so listenable by the public, is that, even assuming arguendo that 0.1 mV/m groundwave signals are not predicted to be reliably received, the protection of the Class A groundwave contour results in significantly higher radiofrequency desired to undesired ratios and consequently improved audio sound to noise ratios at the higher value protected contours.

18 shrunk to the 0.5 mV/m groundwave. Indeed, the listener respondents to the sample Class A AM station surveys essentially double when reporting listeners are filtered to identify those residing outside the Class A AM station’s 0.5 mV/m groundwave contour, in lieu of outside the

0.1 mV/m groundwave contour previously documented. As a supplement to the survey results provided at Exhibit E to the Alliance Comments, attached hereto as Exhibit R are the results to date of the listener surveys at 19 representative Class A AM stations listing only those listeners whose zip codes are from locations outside of the respective Class A AM station’s 0.5 mV/m groundwave contour. Just in this sample survey, there are over one thousand responding distant listeners from zones that certain commenters have made the unsubstantiated claim of not having any Class A AM listenership. 48/ These are not mythical listeners outside the respective Class A station’s 0.5 mV/m groundwave contour, but are documented real ones, as are the already presented nearly one-half million Nielsen-audience listeners outside the Class A AM stations’

0.1 mV/m groundwave contours.

Thus, under the 0.5 mV/m groundwave contour counterproposals suggested by certain commenters, these surveys and audience data establish that real and enthusiastic Class A

AM radio listeners would be subject to loss of interference protection and thus may fall victim to debilitating signal interference. This result would not only harm these established listeners and the individual Class A AM stations, but, as underscored by Nielsen data highlighted in the

Alliance Comments, without such Anchor Stations driving listenership, would provoke these

AM listeners to abandon the AM dial, to the greater detriment and possible extinction of the

AM band. 49/

J. Intended Gains for Class B and D Power Increases and/or Expanded Hours Made at the Expense of Class A Listeners Would Not Be Realized in the Real World

In respect to the Class B and D AM stations seeking to increase operations on clear channels with greater power or expanded hours, such “improvements” would result in extremely abbreviated real world service because the nighttime co-channel interference is so high. As observed by Mr. Fybush: “As the Commission should have learned from previous attempts to grant blanket increases in power levels (most notably the class IV/class C nighttime increase to 1000 watts), the reality of skywave propagation serves as a real-world limitation on

the benefit of such incremental power gains. While an individual class D station might gain

some useful new coverage in its local area were it the only such station to boost power against a

co-channel class A at a distance, the cumulative effect of multiple such increases will be far less

beneficial. … The effect of multiple such new operations will be even worse, creating cacophony

over a broad area where there is now useful secondary service – and, even more critically,

raising the noise floor in such a way as to wipe out a significant portion of the coverage gain any

individual station would otherwise obtain.” 50/

Mr. Fybush also observes that “the laws of physics dictate that at wavelengths in the hundreds of meters, medium-wave signals inevitably carry for hundreds or thousands of miles at night. No attempt to create an antenna design to suppress this skywave element has ever been truly successful; moreover, the majority of class A AM stations in the United States operate

49/ Accord Reihl Comments at 2 (“Further increases in the AM radio ambient interference level will just drive more listeners away from the band.”). 50/ Fybush Comments at 3-4.

20 from antennas designed in the 1930s and 1940s, which were in large part explicitly designed to maximize skywave…. Unlike other propagation methods such as groundwave or VHF line-of- sight, medium-wave skywave is intrinsically variable. The Commission recognizes this by using

50% reliability in many of its skywave calculations. This, of course, means that 50% of the time an incoming skywave signal will be stronger than predicted – and often much stronger. This will have a significant deleterious effect on local-market service of class B or D stations hoping for increased usable coverage as a result of the proposed decrease in protection to co-channel class A signals.” 51/

The harms of the Commission’s FNPRM Class A AM proposals and the modifications thereof suggested by certain commenters have been demonstrated to result in palpable harms to the public interest, and the “improvements” to non-Class A AM stations are, on the whole, illusory. The Commission’s FNPRM proposal to reduce Class A AM interference protections, and variations thereof suggested in certain comments, would do more harm than good, to the irreparable detriment to the AM band and the public interest. 52/

II. THE COMMISSION’S PROPOSAL TO DECREASE DAYTIME PROTECTIONS FOR ALL CLASS B, C, AND D AM STATIONS IS CONTRARY TO THE PUBLIC INTEREST AS IT WOULD PERMIT MORE INTERFERENCE ON THE AM BAND

The Alliance Comments also addressed the FNPRM proposal to reduce the protected daytime primary service contour for all Class B, C and D AM stations to the 2 mV/m contour and urged the Commission not to adopt this proposal. See Alliance Comments at 33-40

51/ Id. at 2-3. 52/ Certain commenters have suggested rule changes to permit Class D stations to migrate to non-clear channel spectrum, either via a filing window or as a minor modification, in order to secure nighttime service. See, e.g., Anderson Comments at 2; Edward Paul De La Hunt Comments at 6-7. That type of procedural proposal – which would have the potential to reduce rather than exacerbate interference – is one the Commission should consider.

21 and Exhibit Q. The Alliance Comments included representative engineering analyses, showing that while one AM station might obtain power gains (at higher utility costs) and some close-in population gains under the Commission’s FNPRM daytime proposal, it would be at the extensive expense of that station’s neighbors and the integrity of the AM band as a whole, in that power increases under this proposal would result in substantial new received and new caused prohibited contour overlap. See id. at Exhibit Q.

The Alliance Comments noted that its Exhibit Q studies of the impact of the

FNPRM’s proposed change to the 2 mV/m protected contour for Class B, C and D AM stations were based on the current FCC rules definition of interference. See Alliance Comments at n 67.

That is, currently, the FCC considers an “interference area” to be the area where interfering co- or adjacent-channel signal interfering contours overlap the target station’s defined protected contour. The Exhibit Q results showing areas of prohibited overlap based on current

Commission allocation rules are an appropriate measure as the Commission employs a contour- based allocation system to prevent undue interference.

Many signatories to the Alliance Comments are members of the Association of

Federal Communications Consulting Engineers (“AFCCE”), and in discussions with members of the Board of Directors of AFCCE, the Alliance became aware of a possible unintended interpretation of the Exhibit Q studies. The Alliance is taking this opportunity to confirm that the Exhibit Q studies are based on prohibited contour overlaps, and do not reflect ratios of desired to undesired signal as less than the level specified by 47 C.F.R. Section 73.182(r). Given that the Alliance’s opening Comments appear to have created some confusion, we have re-labeled the Exhibit Q studies (attached hereto) to clarify the Alliance’s prohibited contour showings.

In any event, when a desired/undesired signal analysis is performed on the representative stations studied at Exhibit Q (assuming, as before, that each station is upgraded to the maximum facilities possible under the FNPRM 2 mV/m proposal, and then that those stations impacting the allocation landscape are likewise upgraded), again the analyses show that each upgrading station will incur substantial new areas of received interference from the also- permitted power upgrades of its neighbors, and that the neighbors of each upgrading station, notwithstanding their respective presumed power increases under the FNPRM’s 2 mV/m contour protection proposal, would be subject to substantial new areas of interference. See Exhibit S.

Specifically, for analyzed Class B station WONE(AM), Dayton, Ohio, the

“upgraded” WONE will receive interference from its upgrading neighbors, as defined by desired/undesired ratios under the current Commission definition of interference, to an area of

37,011 square kilometers (“sq. km”), with a population of 1,652,375 persons. See Exhibit S-1.

In comparison, at present, WONE receives interference, as defined under the current

Commission definition of interference, to an area of 5,344 sq. km, with a population of

305,958 persons. See Exhibit S-2. That is, over five times the current population subject to received interference to the WONE signal would be subject to new received interference after the permitted upgrade under the FNPRM 2 mV/m proposal. And the impact on WONE’s neighbors, even assuming they have increased power to the maximum permitted under the FNPRM proposal, will also be severely detrimental: interference caused to WONE’s neighbors, as defined by desired/undesired ratios under the current Commission definition of interference, will affect a population of nearly 5 million (4,962,665 persons) over a collective area of

56,962 sq. km. See Exhibit S-3. That massive new set of caused interference dwarfs the existing

WONE caused interference to a population of 195,530 persons within a collective area of

6,051 sq. km. See Exhibit S-4.

Likewise, for Class B station WWBG, Greensboro, North Carolina, as “upgraded” to the maximum power permitted under the FNPRM’s 2 mV/m contour protection proposal,

WWBG will receive interference from its upgrading neighbors, as defined by desired/undesired ratios under the current Commission definition of interference, to an area of 5,174 sq. km, with a population of 310,997 persons. See Exhibit S-5. That new received interference compares with the miniscule current received interference area of 48 sq. km, with a population of 1,462 persons.

See Exhibit S-6. And again, the impact on the upgrading station’s neighbors, even with their own power increases to the maximum permitted under the FNPRM proposal, will add significant amounts of interference to the AM band: interference caused to WWBG’s neighbors, as defined by desired/undesired ratios under the current Commission definition of interference, will impact a population of over one-half million (585,480 persons) over a collective area of 9,966 sq. km.

See Exhibit S-7. Yet again, the immense new caused interference far outweighs the current modest existing WWBG caused interference to a population of 4,401 persons within an area of

69 sq. km. See Exhibit S-8.

So whether prohibited contour overlap is studied, or desired/undesired signal ratios are studied, the end result demonstrated by these examples are that Class B, C and D stations will be faced with high implementation and operating costs for power increases merely to partially stave off encroaching signals, with the listening public being deluged with significantly more, not less, interference on the AM band.

While many commenters have jumped on the Class B, C and D daytime 2 mV/m bandwagon, there are thoughtful voices in addition to the Alliance that warn of the unintended negative effects of a proposal that would promote power increases. The National Association of

Broadcasters, after commissioning a study of the 2 mV/m contour proposal, concluded that

“modifying the daytime protections for Class B, C and D stations is a complicated approach that

may benefit some stations while negatively impacting others and producing unintentional

consequences.” 53/ The NAB Comments further explained: “The primary conclusions to be

drawn from the study are that when a station increases its power under the proposed changes, it

is likely to expand its interference-free population (depending on whether and by how much

nearby stations also increase their power), but in doing so the interference-free population of

nearby stations can be harmed. In particular, AM stations that are unable to take advantage of

the proposed rules to upgrade their own service because they are already operating at maximum

power or cannot afford the associated costs of equipment or electricity.” 54/

As emphasized by Professional Engineer Reihl, increasing power is not practical solution: “Over the years, the FCC has continued to allow more and more stations to come on the air, and at increasingly higher power levels. The inevitable result is massive interference . . . . In this proceeding, the Commission proposes to allow even more power increases, which will further exacerbate the situation.” 55/

53/ See National Association of Broadcasters (“NAB”) Comments at 4. 54/ See id. at 6. Sports teams that rely on Class B AM stations to reach their fans also have expressed their concerns with any change in interference protections which would negatively impact their well-established relationship with AM stations in serving their sports team fans. See, e.g., Comments of Houston Astros, Miami Marlins and Pittsburgh Steelers. 55/ See Reihl Comments at 4. Mr. Reihl also warned, as did the Alliance, of the impractical costs of such power increases: “AM radio stations, particularly stations operating at power levels of 5 kW and above, use a great deal of electrical energy. Any actions the Commission might take that serve to further increase the transmitting power of AM stations will place an additional burden on the environment and the electrical power distribution system. When multiplied across hundreds or thousands of facilities, this burden is not insignificant. Therefore, the Commission should carefully weigh the negative consequences of policy decisions that may directly or

The Alliance’s Exhibit Q and Exhibit S studies demonstrate that even if an

AM station has the resources and opportunity to upgrade along with its neighbors, that station may still be subject to increased areas of prohibited contour overlap, as would its neighbors; and the upgrade is likely to be expensive to implement and operate to boot. In the end, the FNPRM

Class B, C and D daytime 2 mV/m proposal is a lose-lose-lose-lose situation: the upgrading station loses from increased costs and increased interfering contour overlap; its neighbors lose even if they upgrade due to increased interfering contour overlap; the public loses from increased signal interference to their favored stations; and the AM band loses from the departure of frustrated listeners.

III. CONCLUSION

The Commission should not undo the benefits gained so far under the

AM Revitalization First Report and Order by adopting non-consensus AM rule changes that will hurt the AM band and its listeners. Specifically, the Commission should not adopt the proposed changes, or variations thereof, to the interference protections for Class A AM stations and the daytime protections for Class B, C and D AM stations. To do otherwise, might well lead to the short-term revitalization of business for AM engineering consultants and equipment manufacturers, but for the vast majority of AM licensees, it would be a potentially irreversible step toward extinction.

indirectly result in power increases, which would also increase interference to other stations.” Id. at 2. See also J.P. Ferraro Comments at 1 (“we must remain aware that more power means higher electric bills, not an insignificant issue to many stations, (such as mine).”).
