- (it redirects to transition.fcc.gov all on its own)
- Use the criteria on the search page to find the desired station
- Click on the call letters. (if the desired station appears more than once.. it doesn't matter which set of call letters you click on)
- Find the set of facilities you want the map for. (if the station has a pending application and/or permit for technical changes, there may be more than one set of technical facilities listed)
- Find the link Service Contour on Google Map and click on it.
- In a few seconds depending on connection speed, you should have your coverage map.
Their new site is almost as big of a joke as they are. The only thing useful on it is the button linking to the old site, for now. Hopefully they'll loose intrest and leave the old site alone as it's the only thing useful for anyone other than someone searching for happy-crap consumer oriented things.
The new main page for the FCC seems to pretty well ignore the broadcasting side of their responsibilities. While all of the old pages (such as the FM and TV queries) are still there, there doesn't seem to be any way to get to those pages from the FCC's home page.
That says a lot as to how much the current FCC values radio and TV, doesn't it?

It sure does. It says, without coming right out and saying it that "if you aren't a cellular/broadband provider you ain't s##t." The only thing we seem to be good for now is getting the hell fined out of us as a revenue stream and a conduit to pipe out EAS because the cell guys don't want to be bothered.
I like the old design better. It was much easier to use. They should give us the option to use the older format. How much money did it cost us taxpayers for the website redesign?
Another example of how our government cannot balance the checkbooks.

I hate the new design. What was simple is now a mining exercise..
Before you guys get too tangled and wadded up in your own underwear about the inability of government to manage a website, keep in mind that a lot of corporate sites and a lot of community service organization website and church websites seem to regularly change for the sake of change... and not for the better. "For the sake of change" equals: webmaster doesn't want you to think he/she is not up-to-date on the latest fads.
