For those not familiar with the move-in/upgrade process: it is sometimes possible to re-arrange the FM dial in a geographic area to allow a station - or sometimes multiple stations - to increase power and/or move closer to a desirable target market. In some cases, entire station clusters were improved for the client's benefit. This can add enormously to the market value of a station or the competitive position of a cluster.
Such plans involve technical considerations of tower location and FCC interference rules, as well as the legal considerations associated with FCC allocation rules and case law. FAA, local zoning, and historic preservation issues are often encountered and overcome.
