They use all 4 towers either day or night.  True, only two are lit.  Back 
around 1987, the FAA allowed multiple-tower stations to apply for permission 
to light fewer towers. WKBR-Manchester (5 towers) got permission to light 3 
out of the 5.   Usually the end towers are needed for lighting.  And in the 
case of 5 or more, sometimes the middle ones need lighting.     Usually 3 
towers in a straight line, the two end ones are lit and the middle is not.

all 4 towers still be lighted, (assuming they're over 200' tall) whether 
operative or not?
