So I wonder if the FCC will only consider allowing "Franken FMs" on the few
stations that were running as FM stations before the digital deadline, or would
this be allowed for other existing channel 6 stations, even future channel 6
licensees? Anyone have insight into this?

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

So Rick,
You have channel 6 in Nashville, right? Is this something you would
consider if approved?

Fresno's KMCF-LD Launches ATSC 3.0, Hopes to Add Ch. 6 Franken FM Soon

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.
