Can more power actually overcome the fact that antennas have to be positioned separately between low-band VHF and high-band VHF/UHF? -

Do they even have the legal ability to do that? -

Less forgot and more they wanted money from Disney to put the subchannels there. -
Does this mean that Detroit is going back to WADL, after everything that happened?

This includes WPVI-TV, whose OTA signal, stuck as it is on low VHF 6, has been difficult to watch since the digital transition. -
The listings for that day show no change (haven't been updated yet?)
-
Given that the CW is already on WMYD, I don't think Nexstar is going to do any fighting as far as WADL is considered.

The ruling has a direct effect on this deal. Since Nexstar doesn't own any stations in Detroit, the FCC has just ruled that this deal would put Nexstar even more over the ownership cap then it already had been with PIX11.

All the stations that Nexstar and Mission own in the other markets have been ruled to effectively be duopolies. Are any of these now in violation of the existing (if relaxed) duopoly rules?

The court has thrown out DirecTV's anti-trust lawsuit against Nexstar/Mission/White Knight.

Do they actually have English-speaking Telemundo talent cross over?

The WBTS facility is licensed as a Class A digital, but it is actually transmitting on spectrum leased from WGBX, the full-power secondary station owned by WGBH, the PBS station in town, so over-the-air coverage is not an issue.

It's notable that Lionsgate is taking point here instead of the Carsey-Werner Company, which still has an active syndication business (though its been a long time since C-W actually sold a show directly to broadcast stations).

All told, a number of satellite viewers are going to be stuck watching the Super Bowl either on OTA or the Nickelodeon broadcast. (Surprised the CBS affiliate body allowed Nick to cut in on their biggest day in 4 years.)
