Here's a question I haven't seen addressed and I haven't found it in the rules. Here's the situation I'd like an answer to...'
A third party owns a translator which has written authority to translate an AM daytimer. Translator owner translates a AM station 100% when it is on the air.
Let's jump to a normal broadcast day. It's nighttime. We all know if the AM station signs off, it can continue to broadcast on FM. Could the translator owner (Who actually owns the FM) be allowed to "originate" the programming on the AM (Which would not broadcast on AM but would be allowed on FM?) Would the AM stations permission be required to "originate" their after hours programming by the translator operator? Thoughts? This may come up and I have a client who wants to know how to proceed with the commission.
