director  Rae McGrath (I) (qv) specified the frequency of the radio station  Mel Cobb listens to as "1610 AM"; however, after  William Brown (VI) (qv), who played Cobb, researched and advised  McGrath of a 1997 decision by the U.S. Federal Communications  Commission (FCC) expanding the uppermost limit of the AM radio  frequency to 1700 kHz from its prior cutoff of 1600 kHz, the  fictitious stations frequency was changed (at Browns behest) to  "1720 AM."
