Middlemiss reported that the audio signal had been lost on Channel 55 (KCET
analog), evidently due to a demodulator problem.
The issue became moot as that license was allowed to lapse; analog broadcasts
of the PBS programming are now being carried on Channel 59.
Mayhugh reported that applications are being filed for "displacement" channels
for two FM radio translations: KPFK (Pacifica Radio, Los Angeles, now at 88.7
MHz locally) to be broadcast on new frequency 99.5 MHz, and KLOS (rock music,
Los Angeles, now at 99.3 MHz) to be broadcast on 98.9 MHz.
He noted that the Booster plans to preserve 3-channel spacing in local
translator freqencies in order to allow for future implementation of "HD"
(IBOC) radio broadcasting.
It was mentioned in passing that the FCC now allows translation and rebroadcast
from AM radio sources, but still prohibits "streaming" rebroadcasts from any
internet sources.
