As you may know, the FCC is rearranging the actual broadcast frequencies of numerous TV stations in order to reorganize things following the recent spectrum auction. This will not affect the virtual channels that consumers see on their sets.
Many FM stations have their antenna mounted on a TV tower, and this TV "repack" is going to play havoc with them. In Atlanta, all of the FM stations on the newer tower at the Richland site on Briarcliff Road will either have to temporarily decrease power, sign off or temporarily move to another tower. The stations include WCLK, WRFG, WZGC, WUBL, WWPW, WWWQ and WKHX.
WUBL, WWPW, WWWQ and WKHX used to be on the original tower at the site but do not have backups there now. I haven't scoured the FCC database to find out if any of the stations have a backup on a different tower, but if they do not, they're going to have to come up with a contingency plan.
