AM/FM/TV DXing: FCC says yes to several FM stations on 87.7 MHz

More than a dozen digital low-power Channel 6 TV stations get permanent OK for analog FM

It didn’t attract much attention, but the Federal Communications Commission this past week said that 13 analog FM stations that are operating within the bandwidth of digital low-power Channel 6 TV stations can continue to serve their communities.

Remember tuning in the audio for local Channel 6 TV stations just below the FM broadcast band at 87.7 MHz before digital TV? The FCC is giving more than a dozen stations permission to continue transmitting in analog to serve their communities.
