Media Bureau Approves Wiseman Renewals Over Objections

The FCC Media Bureau approved the license renewal applications of Wiseman Media's WZYX(AM) Cowan, Tennessee, and two translators over objections that the translators were broadcasting to the substantially same area, said an order and consent decree in Wednesday’s Daily Digest. Triangle Access Broadcasting argued that one or more of the renewal applications should be denied, but the Media Bureau ruled the matter moot after granting a minor modification request from Wiseman to fix the overlap. The consent decree requires Wiseman to implement a plan to comply with online political file rules, the order said.
