98.9 University of Texas station

It's downgrading, dropping power a lot but raising height on the antenna. I'm referring to 98-9 KUTX in Austin.
Here is the application. https://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=kutx&ccode=1&city=&state=&country=US&arn=&party=&party_type=LICEN

From what I can gather, the power reduction or ERP is being lowered because the antenna going much higher. The result would be a bit better coverage and a lower electric bill. The new combination could mean less building penetration but the new combination should clear up any drop out due to the hilly terrain. I have always been told height beats power every day of the week.
