LPFM stations are also required to protect full-service FM stations on second adjacent channels, however that requirement can be [[Second Adjacent Channel Waiver|waived]] if a technical showing is made that the proposed LPFM facility does not cause any actual interference to listeners or potential listeners of the short-spaced second adjacent channel station or stations. In addition, LPFM stations must also protect FM stations on third adjacent channels in cases where the other FM station is carrying a [[Radio Reading Service]]. Second and third adjacent channel requirements do not include the 20 kilometer "buffer zone". | LPFM stations are also required to protect full-service FM stations on second adjacent channels, however that requirement can be [[Second Adjacent Channel Waiver|waived]] if a technical showing is made that the proposed LPFM facility does not cause any actual interference to listeners or potential listeners of the short-spaced second adjacent channel station or stations.
