This has happed on occasion with Channel 2 and 44.  It also used to happen now and then 
back in the old days when an AM and FM station were co-owned, and occasionally a station 
would carry different sports or news events on the different stations, or an event on one and 
regular programs on the other, even when they normally would simulcast.
