The FCC is allowing stations with HD to voluntarily up their power to up to 10%, which puts the analog power at 90%.

Does anyone know if any local stations have already increased the power?

The FCC notice also says:

In addition, we are simultaneously implementing interference mitigation and remediation
procedures to resolve promptly allegations of digital interference to an authorized full-service FM analog
facility resulting from an FM Digital ERP power increase undertaken pursuant to the procedures adopted
in this Order.

Easy. Slow down. I believe the new rules don't become effective until 30 days after they're published in the Federal Register. That's probably what happened today. So, the deathwatch of radio now stands at 30.....

Will the last person in radio please remember to turn out the lights? Thanks.

(OK, not really. But radio is shooting themselves in the foot here.)

CA, makes me sad for fringe stations and non-comm's. Talk about another way to interfere with what are generally already less-than-desirable coverage areas/signals/antenna placements.
