Here are the 8 points that the FCC has outlined for FM on Ch. 6:
(1) a requirement that FM6 operations be conducted in ATSC 3.0 digital format;
(2) FM6 operations may only be conducted on 87.75 MHz; (3) no interference is
permitted to any other licensed user, including but not limited to broadcast
television or radio users; (4) the station’s audio and video coverage must
reach similar populations; (5) the station must submit written reports, 90 days
from the date of grant of the STA and again 180 days later detailing any
reports of interference and a demonstration that the station’s audio and video
coverage reach similar populations; (6) the station must provide at least one
stream of synchronized video and audio programming on the ATSC 3.0 portion of
the spectrum on a full time (24 x7) basis; (7) the station’s technical
facilities may not be modified; and (8) the station may not be assigned or
transferred. (FCC 20-40)

With ATSC V1, low band VHF should have much higher ERPs to overcome impulse
noise..the LPs really need it bad. ATSC V3 will make things better but still
lowbands are seriously limited due to poor ERPs

I was thinking. Full power stations are 1,000 Kw (30 dBk) on UHF and 160
Kw (22 dBk) on VHF a difference of 8db. LPTV is 15 Kw (11.76 dBk) on UHF and
3 Kw (4.77 dBk) on VHF, a difference of 7 db. Shouldn't the VHF be allowed
the 1 db extra to boost up to 5.75 Kw ERP?

Any why would the FCC not allow you to go to 87.7 or 87.9. 87.75 is the
old analog aural transmitter. Looks like they need to bring captain obvious.

You have channel 6 in Nashville, right? Is this something you would consider

Channel 6 in Fresno, Calif., has launched NextGen TV on VHF Channel 6 and
expects to offer a full-power FM service at 87.7 on the radio dial. Once
approved by the FCC, the hybrid service from the Cocola Broadcasting-owned
low-power TV station would be among the first in the nation to offer a
so-called "Franken FM"—TV stations that offer audio services via the 87.7
MHz audio carrier— enabled by ATSC 3.0.
