I dont see how this was allowed especially since Newstalk is currently on 106 and is now moving to 107 which is whats causing all these problems, i dont think a new station should be allowed to take over from community stations who no doubt will lose listeners directly to Newstalk because of the situation!

The BCI don't allow a station to own a frequency any more and reserve the right to re-allocate a frequency as ComReg dictates. It's a real pain for any station to have to move especially a small station that doesn't have the marketing resources.
