KDUX reply to First Broadcasting

[Radiobub]

Well, this might put an end to "Covington". Or at least a large speedbump. See for yourself: http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/retrieve.cgi?native_or_pdf=pdf&id_document=6518009596

what that means? Are they or aren't they moving KMCQ to Covington?

It means nothing because no one knows how the fcc will decide. It means that KDUX's parent company are trying to convince the FCC that the KMCQ move is no good, because KDUX wants to move to Shoreline on the same frequency.

And the KDUX (Triple Bogey)petition is more spurious than the First Broadcasting petition. In fact, 104.5 could be allotted near Seattle without The Dalles moving, and without KDUX being involved. But of course that would open it up to a future auction.

So Triple Bogey uses smoke and mirrors to...
a. move KDUX from 104.7 Aberdeen to 104.5 Shoreline
b. move KXXK from 95.3 Hoquiam to 104.7 Hoquiam
c. create a "new" vacant channel on 95.3 for Aberdeen (which will then end up at a future auction)

So according to that plan, Morris Communications ends up losing one of their Aberdeen stations and gaining a Shoreline station.

The commission should throw out First Broadcasting and Triple Bogey and give 104.5 to Mercer Island High School. Or, allot 104.5 to Shoreline and place it in the next auction.

Boss bill,you impress me! As a matter of fact, you are indeed correct in your assertion that a contour-protected allotment can be fit in the Seattle-Tacoma market without KMCQ moving at all. It would be a Class A authorization, and the tower would be on the East side of Seatac airport. This should be where KMIH can put their antenna (there are four towers next to each other behind the Safeway in McMicken Heights).
