I don't even know where to start. The whole premise that the complaints by the NAB are based on is faulty. It's ridiculous. They know they don't have a leg to stand on so they're making stuff up now.
Funny read though.

We are talking about the letter that says...
"Consumers listening to NPR and Christian programming on non-commercial stations at the lower end of the FM spectrum have been particularly subject to..."
... Right? That is so bad and yet I am laughing! ;D I'M A TERRIBLE PERSON!!!
That has GOT to be the most horrible, ironic and hilarious thing I have read in a long time!
I love KLOVE and planned to buy that network as an extension of radio buying fantasy, just to keep it on the air nationwide without the need to ask for public funding...
Now I HAVE to buy it, because this is such a weird predicament. Oh, man!
Any thoughts on what might happen with the real issue here? (Forget the fantasy part)

Actually, this was the problem.
Most of the XM and particularly the Sirius FM modulator units are programmed so you can only select a frequency between 88.1 and maybe 88.9 or 89.1 or something like that. Oddly, there is a second group of channels from 106.7 to 107.9. But who was complaining about that end of the dial getting hit by these overpowered FM modulators.
If I recall, there has been a recall by one of the manufacturers over at least one if not mroe of these units, they were simply sending out the signal to your FM radio with too much power, so others even a lane or two over from you were able to hear what you would be listening to at that moment. Also, in many cases, the CCM stations mentioned are often lower powered than many noncomms, so they were taking the hit because they were more susceptible to interference. Also hit hard were translators which typically broadcast at 250w or less anyway.
