FCC Approves WMVP-AM, Chicago Transmitter Move

The Federal Communications Commission approves the transmitter moves and nighttime power reduction requested by Good Karma Brands for WMVP-AM, Chicago. The FCC denied the objectionim filed by Albert Adam David, who claimed the changes would create interference for other licensees. Good Karma proposes to relocate the WMVP facility approximately 31 kilometers to the currently licensed nighttime transmitter site of WCPT-AM, Willow Springs, Illinois. Good Karma proposes to retain WMVP’s Class A designation, operating frequency (1000 kHz), and 50 kW daytime operating power, but reduce nighttime operating power to 37 kW while diplexing nighttime transmissions with WCPT (WCPT broadcasts at 1.5 kW on a different frequency).
