One interesting thing. During the low power FM movement days, there was a 
push to close the adjacent channel spacing rules, since modern receivers 
have no problems if the gap isn't as wide. But the National Association of 
Broadcasters fought tooth and nail, on behalf of all the radio stations 
that are members, to block this.

They produced a CD to warn of what will happen if things were moved from 
3rd adjacent channel to 2nd adjacent channel. Since lab tests wouldn't 
work (since there wasn't an issue), they made this CD (which was presented 
as real lab evidence) but it was totally faked in Sound Forge.

Quality.

But they won.

Who could have guessed that radio wouldn't matter 7 years later.
