I still don't understand why they are letting WFXT and WTIC stay on the same
channel, at full power after the transition. When you look at the coverage
maps on the FCC website, there is significant overlap. Does anyone know how
these signals will act with two stations on the same frequency? We all know
how it looks with analog signals, but digital is obviously a whole new
world. 

How in the world did this happen... was someone at the FCC asleep at the
switch when these channel assignments were decided on?
