FCC Says No To WWIN-FM Upgrade

FCC Says No To WWIN-FM Upgrade - 10/14 - In his Friday TRI radio biz newsletter, Tom Taylor tells us that Radio One won't get a signal upgrade for Baltimore's Magic 95.9, WWIN-FM, because too many radio dial neighbors objected. The Lanham-based firm had asked the FCC for permission to move the adult urban contemporary station's city of license from Glen Burnie to Arbutus and increase power from 3,000-watts to 6,000-watts. However, complaints came from two DC stations - CBS's rhythmic contemporary WPGC and Howard University's adult urban contemporary WHUR, complaining of possible interference to their 95.5 and 96.3, respective, signals in the Baltimore area. Complaints also came from Cumulus's WSOX, 96.1, in Red Lion PA and Prettyman's WICL, 95.9, in the Hagerstown area.
