I'm surprised 4 allowed 40 to go NBC.

So am I. I suspect some money changed hands. (given that they were -
maybe still are - simulcasting some of our newscasts) It would make a
certain amount of sense to operate 40 as a satellite of 4.

58 has really come up in analog power and 58's digital is strong now
where it was pretty much flea power before. 30's analog went down here
when they went to the new tower.

Interesting. 58's analog hasn't improved much since the move. Their
digital is the best of the bunch. To the best of my knowledge they
never operated their digital from the old tower south of town - in fact,
I don't recall their digital ever being authorized to operate from that
tower.

Interesting also that 30's analog dropped. The towers are within a few
dozen feet of each other, and the antenna height actually *increased*
(by an entire 2 meters...) on the new tower. They were already running
the max 5000kw, and still are, at least according to the FCC DB.
