FCC Actions
Capitol Broadcasting’s WDNC-AM LLC has been granted a Construction Permit for 104.5 W283DE Durham NC over the Petition To Deny filed by Radio One on behalf of 104.3 WFXK Bunn. Radio One argued that the translator would overlap with WFXK eventually giving 20 listener complaints, which WDNC disputed that many of which were incomplete and since WFKX simulcasted on 107.1 WFXC Durham its programming would still be audible in the translator’s contour area.
The FCC ruled that 17 of the 20 complaints submitted did not contain a “clear,
concise, and accurate description of the location where interference is alleged or predicted to occur.” It also noted that because WFXK and WFXC simulcasted “there is a potential for consumer confusion between these stations.” The agency directs Radio One if it makes future interference complaints against W283DE to ensure that the complaint makes a clear distinction between the two stations and avoids where possible generalized references to its “Foxy” brand so listeners understand which station may be affected.
W283DE will rebroadcast Sports “620 The Ticket” WDNC Durham.
