Seattle Area LPFM Applications

The Canadiens must have said Pas de problème.

The comment was based on the "warnings" seen at the RECNET LPFM site:

REC Filing Window Application Tracking System | REC Networks

recnet.com recnet.com
"WARN 2ADJ: CKPK-FM VANCOUVER BC (Dist 98/Req 99) 2ADJ: NEW VANCOUVER BC (Dist 98/Req 99) 2ADJ: NEW VANCOUVER BC (Dist 98/Req 99) 2ADJ: CKPK-FM VANCOUVER BC (Dist 98/Req 99) 2ADJ: NEW VANCOUVER BC (Dist 98/Req 99) 2ADJ: NEW VANCOUVER BC (Dist 98/Req 99) 2ADJ: CFUVFM VICTORIA BC (Dist 57/Req 68) GRANT DEP ON CANADA AGREEMENT."

It's all cross-border stuff. If any of those alerrs had been generated on the US side the outcome might be different. Perhaps?
 
Arguably in the public interest, as the "Anacortes" and "Oak Harbor" stations are technically unreliable and trying to target the Canadian foreign language market.
 
Stations, to be granted, must meet all rules of the FCC regarding spacing of stations. Stations are not granted 'in the public interest' if they do not meet FCC rules on spacing of stations. Quite a few LPFM applications were denied because of spacing rules. In fact, in Marfa , Texas because the station would have been 1/2 of a kilometer too close to another station.
 
Realistically, this LP will have no impact at all on listeners of any Canadian station on the Canadian side of the border. It’s too far away to create any interference, and listeners in BC won’t even know it’s there.
 
Yes, I'm quite aware of that translator, but 95.3 was occupied by KDXB-LP in Seattle until that station went dark. I figured someone would take that frequency at that location again.
