You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

In [[Radio broadcasting|radio]] and [[television]] [[broadcasting]] a '''rimshot''' is a station that attempts to reach a larger [[media market]] from a distant [[suburb]]an, [[exurb]]an, or even [[rural]] location.  The term is primarily used with [[FM broadcasting|FM]] stations, and mainly in [[North America]].  The name derives not from the sound of a [[rimshot]] in music, but rather from [[basketball]], where the ball hits the rim of the basket, and may or may not go in.

Rimshot stations are often at a disadvantage compared to higher-[[signal strength|strength]] signals in a market.  Many rimshot operators attempt to serve the larger market with a signal that has deficiencies in the intended listening area, especially on the far side from where it is transmitted.

Many (if not most) rimshot stations are "move-ins", having moved to about halfway between their [[city of license]] (which they are legally required to cover and serve) and the [[metro area]] which they actually care about.  In this manner, the [[broadcast range]] of the station ideally covers both.  Although stations have traditionally been required to keep their main studio in their community of license, this has become less and less meaningful as more and more have been granted [[waiver]]s to [[Consolidation (media)|consolidate]] [[radio studio]]s at a single location due to [[concentration of media ownership]].

In the U.S., it was [[Federal Communications Commission|FCC]] MM docket 80-90<ref>https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-83-259A1.pdf ((Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022))</ref> that allowed FM stations to have closer spacing, thereby allowing move-ins, and some new stations as well.  This has generally been allowed, especially when it makes room for additional stations in outlying areas.  In these cases, the [[table of allotments]] is amended in a [[rulemaking]] proceeding, although this is not always a requirement to move a station in most cases, depending on each particular situation.

On an international level, stations which attempt to serve another country are called "[[border blaster]]s".  These are primarily Mexican [[AM broadcasting|AM]] stations operating at very high power on [[Clear-channel station|clear channels]] to reach the [[American Southwest]] and beyond via [[skywave]] at night.

In Canada, the [[CRTC]] restricts most same-market duopolies in television to channels broadcasting in different languages. Hence, English-language duopolies in major Canadian markets have involved stations licensed to rimshot major cities or serve different portions of a larger metropolitan area (such as [[Victoria, British Columbia|Victoria]] and [[Chilliwack]] for [[Vancouver]], [[Hamilton, Ontario|Hamilton]] and [[Barrie, Ontario|Barrie]] for [[Toronto]], [[Pembroke, Ontario|Pembroke]] for [[Ottawa]] and [[Sherbrooke]] for [[Montreal]]).
