Interference

[MarioMania]

I'm reading on the Wike about KSNV 3 something I don't get

In 1967, KORK-TV moved to channel 3 to avoid interference with newly signed-on KTVN (channel 2) in Reno

it's like 7 hours apart

S.F KTVU 2 - L.A KCBS 2

But in San Francisco to L.A is 6 Hours

Can someone explain this

In 1967, KORK-TV moved to channel 3 to avoid interference with newly signed-on KTVN (channel 2) in Reno

From Broadcasting Magazine, 5/9/66 (paragraph breaks are mine):

By report and order in Doc. 16187, commission amended its TV table of assignments to substitute channel 3 for channel 2 in Las Vegas, channel 5 for channel 4 at Boulder City, channel 2 for channel 5 at Goldfield, and channel 4 for channel 5 in Cedar City, all Utah.

At same time, it modified license of Southern Nevada Radio and Television Co. to specify operation of KORK-TV on channel 3 instead of channel 2 in Las Vegas, subject to conditions including no construction on channel 3 to commence until Mexican government has approved proposed assignment changes within 250 miles of Mexico-United States border. KORK-TV sought Las Vegas change because proposed relocation of its trans, on channel 2 to site on Potosi Mountain would not meet co-channel separation requirements.

It also allowed Channels 2 and 4 to be assigned to Flagstaff AZ.

It also allowed Channels 2 and 4 to be assigned to Flagstaff AZ.

...which 4 is long gone now. Used to be FamilyNet affiliate KTFL, but they went silent several years ago.
