Look for the same type of activities in the Atlanta and Georgia region, if it hasn’t already begun. Some of the local UHF stations around here really struggle to make payrolls these days. The station managers could take the FCC money, split it up between the owners, making them VERY rich……..and then simply go dark.

Remember when the FCC actually spent time focused on radio law, radio physics, spectrum interference management, etc. ?? Now they are in the spectrum brokering business to make money for the US Treasury !
