Program Origination on Translators

Geo Broadcasting Solutions wants to use FM boosters as program originators that are separate from the main channel operation. Boosters are a bit different than translators. They operate on the same frequency as the main channel. They are used to help broadcasters “boost” their signal within their coverage area.

Geo Broadcasting says it holds patents on technology that would enable the booster to avoid causing interference both to the main channel and to other boosters; the technology also allows licensees to insert different, hyper-local programming on each booster. This is generally an issue since both stations operate on the same frequency. It is difficult to null the interference to each other as a result.

According to Geo, testing in Florida and Utah has been successful. Geo is requesting the Commission to authorize program origination on FM boosters as a routine matter in RM-11659.

 

Congressman Doyle challenges Industry Claims about LPFM Radio

http://ping.fm/9rReY

**** ACTION: PLEASE Sign This Petition To Do Battle For LPFM!! **** IF the FCC's final rule on LPFM contains the currently proposed ban on LPFM stations below 50 watts, even in highly urban areas, I plan to file a Petition For Reconsideration.

IF the Petition For Reconsideration is denied, I hope to put on my "lawyer hat" and file a lawsuit against the FCC. The lawsuit itself would be accompanied by pursuit of an injunction -- under which licensing of ALL urban radio stations would be suspended until the status of LPFM stations below 50 watts has been resolved by the court(s) involved. http://ping.fm/nu79s
