The National Association of Broadcasters is urging caution regarding the FCC’s proposed new FM broadcasting class, “A10.” Introduced by Commander Communications, the A10 class aims to improve signal strength and coverage for Class A FM stations, benefitting rural and underserved areas. While acknowledging potential benefits during emergencies, NAB highlights significant technical challenges, such as increased interference in crowded areas like the Northeastern US and California. Economically, NAB doubts many stations can afford the upgrade, as it offers limited coverage expansion. NAB calls for more comprehensive data and analysis to evaluate the proposal’s true benefits, risks, and costs.
