RSM have a draft plan to implement 400 kHz spacing in the FM broadcast
plan as opposed to the 800 kHz plan they now have with locally
adjacent channels.
I would have expected at least 400 kHz between 106.7 and the next
lowest allocated licence, giving 106.3
Is it just a case of another commercial player fronting up with
hundreds of thousands of dollars, so to hell with the guardband?

Will RSM issue a caveat for Christchurch as they have done in Auckland
with Mai FM on 88.6 - "No one shall broadcast on 106.7 within a 120 km
radius of Christchurch (wherever Hauraki's TX is)" - as doing so could
"potentially" interfere with an establised, licenced service.

Did RSM even check to see if anyone was using 106.7?

Do we have anyone here from RSM who would care to comment on this?
