More than ten years of jamming in the Palm Bay / Melbourne area is coming to an end with your purchase of WWIA 88.5! What a blessing this will be to the young people in Southern Brevard county who have suffered from jamming all these years!
 
WPOZ's signal is/was not being "JAMMED"

WWIA could never have interfered or "jammed" WPOZ. If you look at this posted map link, you can clearly see that WWIA's interfering contour (54 dBU 50,10) as a first adjacent channel station to WPOZ's protected contours (60 dBU 50,50) has miles of separation and is more than compliant with all Federal Communications Commission rules. The stations' contours shown on the map would have had to overlap to cause FCC-defined interference and the Commission likely would have never approved such a proposal if that was the case.

Based strictly on FCC rules you are absolutely correct to say that WWIA does not interfere with WPOZ. But FCC rules and interference contours mean nothing to a listener in Palm Bay or West Melbourne who is trying to receive WPOZ's weaker 88.3 signal (between WPOZ's 54 dBU and 40 dBU contours) and whose reception is getting swamped by WWIA's much stronger 88.5 signal (between WWIA's 70 dBU and 100 dBU contours) depending on the type of radio and distance from the WWIA tower site. Over the years we have received countless calls from listeners in Southern Brevard County asking if there was something they could do to overcome the 88.5 signal interfering with their ability to pick up Z88.3. With WPOZ's programming now being rebroadcast on the 88.5 frequency, the issue is a moot point.
