FCC kills a deal to create a Detroit AM move-in at 1160
Sima Birach brought a settlement agreement to the Commission with a man who wanted to create a new station in West Virginia on the same frequency, but the Commission cites its rules and won’t let Birach Broadcasting leave its current city of license in Michigan. WCXI, currently running 1-kw fulltime and licensed to Fenton, Michigan, is in the Flint area. Birach Broadcasting proposed to re-license it to Wixom, Michigan – this time with 15-kw days, and still 1-kw at night. Even though WCXI would be providing “first service” to Wixom – just northeast of Detroit – the FCC rejects the deal. WCXI must stay where it is – and a competing proposal to build an 1160 in Winfield, WV gets the nod, instead. Read the Commission’s decision here.
