93.3 Jacksonville weird application

[Rick Rose 2.0]

The FCC application list shows that Clear Channel has applied to upgrade 93.3 WJBT to a class C1 to a tower northwest of Brunswick plus an application to move 92.7 to Beverly Beach so it would be even further from Jacksonville than the current CP for 92.7 which puts it in Hastings(serving St Augustine). The application must have a coordinates error because if 93.3 moves north it will not work with 93.1 in Savannah. I see a correction coming soon.

They are seeking to move WROO/92.7's city of license to Beverly Beach in Flagler County

And ebcause WROO 92.7 is the only FM licensed to Green Cove SPrings, they need to replace it with another station.. and the station they're replacing it with needs to be replaced to.

We all know theyre doing nothing but serving jacksonville.. however, the way the FCC looks at it is you cant remove first aural service from a town.....

I was trying to point out that the new application for 93.3 places the tower northwest of Brunswick for its class C1 upgrade proposal. I totally believe that 93.3 meant to apply for for the C1 upgrade with a signal that blankets Jacksonville due to the fact that 92.7 now wants to move further south.

I thought the plan was to move 93.3 to that tower with 107.3 and all the other FM's east of Downtown?

And the 93.3 moving NW of Brunswick won't fly. It is too close to 93.1 in Savannah (which is about 15 miles WSW of Downtown Savannah.) It's gotta be an engineer mistake. Probably screwed up the latitude coordinates. If you notice, NW of Brunswick is at the same longitude as Eastern Duval County.

The updated application is on file now and like I thought the coordinates on the 1st application was wrong.

The former WPLA 93.3 Callehan may be able to get a C1 operation, but they won't do it moving North for reasons mentioned - Savananah and WEAS 93.1, also a C1. They may be able to move South of Jacksonville, but only slightly due to a full C co-channel in Tampa - WFLZ. It's going to be tricky, even if it can be done at all. It will be interesting to see what actaully ends up happening with this one.

I thought most of all of this was merely a City of License change.. and nothing else.

It is a city of license change for 92.7 currently licensed to Green Cove Springs. I believe there may be a transmitter site change as well on that one. The classification upgrade is relating to 93.3 Callehan (Jacksonville), whereas Clear Channel wants to upgrade that station from a C2 at 50kw to a C1 with 100kw and 981 Feet. The former WJBT on 92.7 moved to the former WPLA facilities on 93.3 and this, as I understand, is the reason for all the changes in class, COL, TL and so on effecting two stations.
