Another Rimshot Sells

Aside from some spotty west valley coverage I don't see how this could ever be even considered a "rimshot." At least not on the level of Mega, Movin, Power and Vibe from Crown King. There's no way they can upgrade to a full C or move any closer since KIIM in Tucson is also on 99.5, right? What is the end goal with this CP?
 
To further Beau Duran's question...

Can KIIM 99.5 Tucson object to this CP ever getting on the air?
Using the "short-spacing" argument perhaps.

Or is anything beyond 80 miles from KIIM's stick on Tower Peak--
as is this coverage area plot--fair game?
 
The buyer calls itself "Deportes Y Musica Comunicaciones LLC" (its ownership includes someone from Mexico City), so it's a given that this station will sign on with a Spanish-language format.

It's more of a KSWG/KHOV/KCDX-type rimshot. I doubt it could be moved any closer to Phoenix, given the proximity of KMZQ Payson (which had been trying to up its signal, but opposition from the owner of translator K257CD on Shaw Butte shot that down). I thought full-service stations had precedent over translators, so how in the world did K257CD get away with preventing KMZQ to move closer to Phoenix?
 
Eric, I think this calls for us to send a shout out to Professor Fybush,
and that he can hopefully tear himself away from the NAB junket in
Vegas long enough to read this thread and respond! :)
