Sadly, Myspace doesn't issue licenses. The only station even trying to get on 1620 in the entire state of New Jersey is in Tom's River and that hasn't even been approved yet. Believe me, if there was a real new license in the NYC area everyone would be talking about it. In any case, the dead giveaway is that there are only three cities mentioned. A real station would have more coverage than that. Sorry, you've been snookered.
To answer your question Nick, between the legitimate stations and the pirates that are already in the area there isn't any more room.
This is the station: http://www.mix1620.com

A serious question, why are all the pirates in the tri-state area either Urban, Hispanic/Jamacian or some sort of non-European Ethnic, was there; or is there; a pirate playing Metal, Alternative or just plain Hard Rock. Does the FCC shut them down as soon as they come on, when looking the other way with the others, just curious...
the station in question is a part 15 station with many transmitter throughout these citys i mention prior,im sure if they had the locations in nutley and else where they would expand, i have listened to the station... no live talk yet!!! i see someone posted the website already so there was no need to repost it, so its a legal way of bring alternative music to the area, im sure if there where open taker's in producing a rock or alternative music station it could be done ...but who needs the headachs of worring when u are going to be shut down!
Better look at the rules again,you CANT do that.

when u have many many friends... you actually can, theres nothing in the rules about whom can own a part 15 transmitter, what dial they can have it on, or if they can or can not repeat what the guy down the block is streaming...... as long as royalitys are getting paid & that local advertisting money is coming in...im sure mix 1620 am will keep expanding its signal!!! there's part 15 stations in the mid west running 8 & some even more transmitters! if you have the money to do it why not!
its basicly bring a alternative voice & music to the area...

I know in the Los Angeles market there were two FM outlets that tried something like this, multiple transmitters with a single program source.
103.1 Santa Monica & Newport Beach: Tried many times to sync up the two transmitters with little success. They're still on the air. They were cleaver at the start by calling it Mars-FM.
107.1: Three transmitters doing the same as above with little success. No longer on-air (at least as a set).
I know AM is completely different than FM, which makes me think.. ???
What do you hear when you're between transmitters? ???
I'd imagine it's like listening to the source and a delay at the same time. Wow, as if listening to music without treble and lots of static was bad enough.
My advice: Give up 1620 and make sure your station can be had on the iPhone. 8)
I stand corrected. As long as all of the transmitters are within part 15 limits, it's not a pirate. (I tend to think all part 15 rules aren't going to be followed, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt.)
This is theoretically possible, but pulling it off correctly is going to be a serious technical challenge. You can't simply tune a receiver to 1620 and rebroadcast that back out on 1620. The thing will feed back on itself and you won't get anything usable. To make this work you'll either need a directional system (even further limiting the coverage area) or another means of distribution. There's a certain free-for-all radio band that anyone can use with little restriction that could be used, and that's the only reliable way I can think of. Internet distribution would be way too tricky I think. Being off even by a few milliseconds would screw up the synchronization. Remember that AM doesn't have the capture effect the way FM does. AM is more of a dogpile.
This could be interesting.

the station is using instreamers and exstreamers to feed the transmitters...so we're getting full digital streaming sound and music...we are still running sound and other test, but i can tell u we sound about the same if not better than any fm station u can hear right now...no feed back between transmitter cause they are spaced out to limit the feed back and hums, fyi. we are on iphone & ipod touch apps across the board, we are almost ready with the blackbery app, we have a ton of listeners already on the website, im sure once the promotions van hits the streets it will increase by a whole lot more!!! keep your finger cross and anyone with knowledge whom we like to get on board with this project im all for it....send me a message
