Digital AM Nighttime Interference Claim Filed
Radio World reports that a Rochester, NY, radio station has filed a complaint with the FCC over nighttime digital AM interference: Radio World reports this is thought to be the first such complaint. The complaintant, Radio Livingston, runs WYSL, while CBS Radio runs the station that's being complained about. WYSL uses just 500 watts at night (20 kilowatts daytime) while CBS uses 50 kW 24 hours a day. The complaint was filed in October. It's worth noting, as this article does, that WYSL's owner believes in-band, on-channel (IBOC) digital encoding for AM is "bad for AMs that remain analog."
