What is the craziest docket you've ever seen? I remember one in Michigan that would have changed frequencies of quite a few stations. For example, WKLA would have moved to 98.7, WHAK would have moved to 106.3, WCUZ would have upgraded dramatically and moved to 99.9, and a few new allocations would have been created. This didn't come to fruition. In fact, there are now separate stations on 98.7 and 106.3 in the same areas where WKLA and WHAK are respectively.

Started in 1996:

Anyone want to even try to figure out a bunch of interlocking dockets that involved Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Arizona, and Nevada? I gave up long ago. I think at one point there was a single proposal to move over 12 signals but that got killed at the Commission.
Ye big Utah mess resulted directly and indirectly in a bunch of Salt Lake rim shots even from Wyoming but did not "directly" involve the threatened KQFC channel move.
I don't believe all of them were directly from the initial docket but think it spawned a wole bunch of "minor" dockets & applications.
