ADDITIONAL INFO
Radio:
AM stations show daytime and nighttime power in the form of "day/night." AM stations with just one power listed only operate during the day. Those daytimers that can broadcast during the "critical hours" around sunrise and sunset show critical hour power -- "day/CH."

FM stations give tower height above average terrain (HAAT) in feet and power in kw, followed by class. The FCC defines the following classes: class A: up to 328' HAAT and 6 kw (or equivalent); B1: 328' and 25 kw; B: 492' and 50 kw, C3: 328' and 25 kw; C2: 492' and 50 kw; C1: 981' and 100 kw; C0: 1476' and 100 kw; C: 1968' and 100 kw. Class D FM stations are legacy low power stations whose signals only reach a few miles. L1 class are low power FM (LPFM) stations.

TV:
TV stations are also listed by HAAT in feet and power in kw. US channels with call letters with numbers in them (K22AA, for example), are low power TV (LPTV) stations. Stations with call letters with -LP or -CA suffixes are also LPTVs. They are restricted in their coverage area.

TV stations with call letters with a -DT suffix are digital TV stations. These new digital channels are not viewable without a digital TV set or an adapter on your current set.
