    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.

  • A's News Clips, Friday, September 16, 2011 Oakland A's Delay Detroit Tigers' Title Party by Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune
    A’s News Clips, Friday, September 16, 2011 Oakland A's delay Detroit Tigers' title party By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune The Detroit Tigers arrived in town Thursday with a 12-game winning streak and a healthy dose of motivation for the A's. By game time the Tigers needed only a victory to clinch the American League Central title. Instead the A's turned them back 6-1, halting a winning streak that tied for the majors' longest this season and postponing the Tigers' celebration. Detroit's magic number is one, meaning the next Tigers victory or loss by the Cleveland Indians hands Detroit its first division title since 1987. But the A's would like to delay the Tigers' party. "We don't want them to mess up Mike's room over there," right fielder David DeJesus said in reference to Mike Thalblum, the A's visiting clubhouse manager. Oakland knows all about opposing teams celebrating on its home field. The Rangers clinched the A.L. West last season in Oakland with a Sept. 25 victory. "We didn't like it last year, and we wouldn't like it this year," A's shortstop Cliff Pennington said. "If you can, beat them and (delay) it and make them celebrate after a loss." The A's welcomed Coco Crisp back to the lineup after the switch-hitting center fielder missed eight of the previous 10 games with a sore right ankle. Crisp hit leadoff in place of injured Jemile Weeks and went 3 for 5 with an RBI and stolen base.
