WMTW's signal was traditionally not as good as 6 and
13 in the Greater Portland area.  I am told it is
better now from their new tower.

I do not think the difference in signals has anything
to do with the ratings difference between 6 and 13. 
Up until the mid-1980s, WGME(and WGAN-TV before that)
dominated the local TV news ratings.  At that time,
lots less people had cable.  S
