The answer is actually even simpler: it wasn't worth the money to keep 
maintaining a four-tower DA for very limited night service, so they 
dismantled the DA and dropped down to a single tower, ND. That's all.

"1600 used to be a four-tower array at this site on Fisher Avenue barely 
a mile from the Connecticut state line, but it gave up its 5000-watt 
day/2500-watt directional night signal a few years ago to downgrade to 
daytime-only status with 2500 watts from the one remaining tower next to 
the studio building here. "
