Perhaps it's not Stow, but Steubenville. Wheeling is across the river from
Steubenville, pretty much, but is nowhere near Stow, and I not only can't see
the FCC allowing 1170 and 1150 to be lit up in the same market, I can't see the
FCC allowing Clear Channel to remove an operational station from one market to
put it into another.
CC bought and took dark two full power (old rules) 1150s so it could pump its
L.A. 1150 to full power (new rules) ... 50 kW days, 44 kW nights.
The move of WWVA is indeed to Stow, OH, with the Tx site midway between
Cleveland and Stow.
The proposed DA-D is most likely to protect adjacent-channel stations.
The proposed DA-N is to protect a co-channel station ... ex-KVOO being the only
one that matters for 27 kW.
For 50 kW nights, the Class I-N in Alaska would have to be considered, and the
DA-N would likely have to have more towers.
There are three Class As on 1170 ... all are U.S.
