Some 7 1/2 months ago, veteran radio industry figure Tom Birch filed a 53-page interference complaint with the FCC against a licensee led by one of the region’s biggest local broadcast leaders. It pit Birch’s Lakes Media LLC against Don Curtis, and a Class C3 FM licensed to Clarksville, Va., against a 150-watt FM translator designed to expressly serve the cities of Cary and Raleigh.
Birch is now celebrating a victory for his “US 98.3.”
