FM spacing/Studios vs. city-grade coverage

[ajhenderson]

Curious about two issues:

1. I know translators must vacate if a full-power station application is approved, but as far as FM spacing, do translators have any consideration, even as little as 10.6/10.8 MHz?

2. If only part of a city is covered in a station's city-grade contour, can a studio be located anywhere in that city or is it limited to the part covered (without obtaining special approval)?

1) Translators are NOT protected from interference from full-power stations. For the purposes of protecting stations that are 53 or 54 channels removed (so a translators doesn't cause interference), translators are treated as if they are "Class A" stations in determining distance spacing requirements.

2) The main studio must be located within the city of license, within the principal community contour of ANY station (AM, FM or TV) licensed to the station's same community of license, or within 25 miles from the reference coordinates of the community of license.

Yes, I understand that the city-grade pattern of any station with the same COL can be used for determining studio location, and I guess that means that it's only the part of a city covered can be home to a studio?
