Where are the 87.7FM radio station studios? Transmitter? Call letters?

They are not licensed and are taking
advantage of a loophole by broadcasting
on the former analog Ch 6 frequency.Not
licensed in the traditional sense though
maybe they are allowed to put up an
LPTV signal which by good fortune
for them has audio on 87.75 MHz.
Call letters:none unless they have LPTV calls.
Chief engineer:who knows

If they are making money I sure hope
they are reporting said income to the IRS

>>The LPTV stations on Channel 6 that operate as radio stations on 87.7 have gotten a stay of execution from the FCC.The September 1, 2015 deadline that would’ve forced all of the remaining analog LPTV’s to convert to digital operation has been suspended indefinitely until a new date is decided upon in an upcoming rulemaking....The proposal also seeks comment on on the potential for a digital LPTV station’s analog FM radio-type service to interfere with or disrupt the LPTV station’s digital TV service and potential of interference to other primary licensees such as existing FM’s at 88.1 or 88.3 MHz.

Thanks, wasn't sure; the folks on 88.1 like WMBR and the various 88.3s (WBMT, WRPS, etc.) may wish to complain to the FCC if they are getting interference from this pirate.

Site says:
>>Copyright 2013.
Whether it's really copyrighted who knows. If they have a way of streaming (legally) that's one thing; if they are on the airwaves without permission they are
breaking the law

b87fm.com is registered through Wild West Domain names through May of next year but they seem to be keeping the info private, merely reproducing the address of the registrar.

There are many facebook posts put out by this operation...maybe the FCC is overlooking them but again if WMBR complains...
