They have soup olives in Raleigh and Fresno why would they put it in a competing station in their respective cities. Going to start calling duopolies "Soup Olives" now. That's an amazing autocorrect. WRDC is the ATSC3.0 lighthouse for Raleigh. Sinclair only has one ATSC1.0 station, WLFL. Edited April 27 by appleachian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't even add to the fact that bigger effective radiated power doesn't mean the issues about the antennas in Philly had to be. The better answer they should've done is to make an translator, and/or put an simulcast on an full-power station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
