According to RBI, there is no evidence that the stations were placed in bankruptcy because they were By the Commission: Commissioner Barrett concurring unable to compete successfully in the Spokane market.

RBI also submits that KTRW and KZZU-FM are market leaders in audience share ratings and, in fact, based upon the most recent Arbitron survey for the Spokane market, KZZU-FM is rated the number one station in the market.

  • SAGA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (Exact Name of Registrant As Specified in Its Charter)
    2016 Annual Report 2016 Annual Letter To our fellow shareholders: Well…. here we go. This letter is supposed to be my turn to tell you about Saga, but this year is a little different because it involves other people telling you about Saga. The following is a letter sent to the staff at WNOR FM 99 in Norfolk, Virginia. Directly or indirectly, I have been a part of this station for 35+ years. Let me continue this train of thought for a moment or two longer. Saga, through its stockholders, owns WHMP AM and WRSI FM in Northampton, Massachusetts. Let me share an experience that recently occurred there. Our General Manager, Dave Musante, learned about a local grocery/deli called Serio’s that has operated in Northampton for over 70 years. The 3rd generation matriarch had passed over a year ago and her son and daughter were having some difficulties with the store. Dave’s staff came up with the idea of a ‘‘cash mob’’ and went on the air asking people in the community to go to Serio’s from 3 to 5PM on Wednesday and ‘‘buy something.’’ That’s it. Zero dollars to our station. It wasn’t for our benefit. Community outpouring was ‘‘just overwhelming and inspiring’’ and the owner was emotionally overwhelmed by the community outreach. As Dave Musante said in his letter to me, ‘‘It was the right thing to do.’’ Even the local newspaper (and local newspapers never recognize radio) made the story front page above the fold. Permit me to do one or two more examples and then we will get down to business.

  • Renewal Primer for Television Stations for Renewal Cycle Beginning June 2020
    Renewal Primer for Television Stations for Renewal Cycle Beginning June 2020 March 2020 This primer provides detailed guidance on the television station license renewal process.1 Please have those involved in the license renewal process at your station take some time to review these materials. Stations must begin their post-filing announcements on the date that their renewal application is filed. Note that we are happy to set up a call with our clients to walk through this process and answer any questions. We are also glad to handle the mechanics of filing renewal applications through the FCC’s “new” Licensing Management System (“LMS”). SECTION I: THE BASICS The deadline by which a station is required to file its license renewal application is determined by the state in which the station is licensed. Attachment A contains a state-by-state list of license renewal application filing dates and license expiration dates.2 After filing its license renewal application, a station must air post-filing announcements for one month.3 Pre-filing announcements are no longer required.4 Section II of this memorandum provides detailed guidance on the required post-filing announcements, the specific text required, and sample statements for certifying compliance with the public announcement requirements (Attachments B-E). The license renewal application must be filed electronically through the FCC’s Licensing Management System (LMS) platform using FCC Form 2100/Schedule 303-S (“Form 303-S”). A sample copy of the Form 303-S from LMS is available at Attachment F, along with the FCC’s instructions for the form.

  • EE 321 AM Radio Stations in Spokane Area Fall 2017
    EE 321 AM Radio Stations in Spokane Area Fall 2017 Conventional amplitude modulation (AM) radio stations use carrier frequencies spaced 10 kHz apart, over the range of 535 kHz to 1605 kHz. Demodulation occurs by frequency shifting the carrier down to the intermediate frequency (IF) of 455 kHz, and passing the signal through a fixed narrow-band filter with bandwidth 10 kHz, centered at 455 kHz. The ideal frequency response characteristic is the “brick-wall” bandpass filter shown below. The 17 AM radio stations listed below are in the greater Spokane area. Note that two have the same carrier frequency (KOFE at 1240 AM in St. Maries, ID and KCVL at 1240 AM in Colville, WA) with one other station adjacent in frequency (KSBN at 1230 in Spokane, WA).

SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. Nancy A. Ory Paul A. Cicelski Laura M. Berman Lerman Senter PLLC 2001 L Street NW, Suite 400 Washington, DC 20036 Tel. (202) 429-8970 April 19, 2017 Their Attorneys -ii- SUMMARY In this Petition, WSBS Licensing, Inc. and its parent company Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (“SBS”) seek modification of the television market of WSBS-TV, Key West, Florida (the “Station”), to reinstate 41 communities (the “Communities”) located in the Miami- Ft. Lauderdale Designated Market Area (the “Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA” or the “DMA”) that were previously deleted from the Station’s television market by virtue of a series of market modification decisions released in 1996 and 1997. SBS seeks recognition that the Communities located in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties form an integral part of WSBS-TV’s natural market. The elimination of the Communities prior to SBS’s ownership of the Station cannot diminish WSBS-TV’s longstanding service to the Communities, to which WSBS-TV provides significant locally-produced news and public affairs programming targeted to residents of the Communities, and where the Station has developed many substantial advertising relationships with local businesses throughout the Communities within the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA. Cable operators have obviously long recognized that a clear nexus exists between the Communities and WSBS-TV’s programming because they have been voluntarily carrying WSBS-TV continuously for at least a decade and continue to carry the Station today.
