description of an AM station directional antenna system field
monitoring point, when that point is not changed; (2) changing the type
of AM station directional antenna monitor; (3) changing the location of
the station main studio; or (4) changing the location of a remote
control point of an AM or FM station. TV or FM licensees changing the
type of transmitting antenna or output power of their transmitter must
file the appropriate license application form (FCC Form 302-FM/302-TV,
3060-0506/0029) with the FCC. 47 CFR Section 73.3544(c) allows
licensees to provide written notification when a change in the name of
the licensee occurs where no change in ownership or control is
involved.
