The FCC dismissed an application for review by Access on the Media Bureau’s dismissal of its low-power FM station application in San Diego. Access acknowledged that the dismissal was valid under existing law and policy, but argued “that the international third-channel spacing requirements have proven to be unnecessary,” the FCC said in a memorandum opinion and order (http://bit.ly/1xM5j4h). Access asked the agency to refrain from dismissing the application, to let the FCC encourage Mexico to change its spacing requirements, the commission said. Access never presented to the bureau its argument that the application should be held pending a possible revision of the spacing requirement rule, the FCC said.
