L.A. owner Saul Levine complains to the FCC about CBS Radio importing Riverside’s KFRG “K-Frog” to an HD-3 channel. And K-Frog would be of particular interest to Levine, since he owns the L.A. market’s KKGO “Go Country 105.”

LARadio.com quotes Levine saying that CBS is doing “a mean-spirited thing and we've determined that what they are doing is not permissible.” The way he interprets the FCC’s local ownership rules, CBS has already defied the Commission for years by owning two TV stations (KCBS-TV, KCAL-TV) plus seven radio stations. You’re supposed to own no more than six radio properties if you have two TV outlets.

Levine says that in November 2002, CBS filed to assign KFWB (980) to trustee Bill Clark. But that’s still pending – “a clear violation.” Now he says CBS is “using the HD band as a translator, and you can’t use a translator to extend the station’s primary coverage. KFRG’s signal reaches just east of downtown. [Placing it on a full-market-coverage HD channel] is not allowed.”
