WRPT was a special case, in that it was a station subject to being deleted 
if it didn't get back on the air within a year of the passage of the 
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Hey Bob, is it time to flush the toilet 
again?).  The FCC apparently was bending over backwards to help those 
stations avoid deletion, including rapid processing of any necessary 
applications for facilities changes.
