KIND OF ODD

latino2008

I was doing some research on Houston AM stations and came across KLVL who is currently working on a CP to upgrade to 5,000 watts but only as a daytimer giving up there night signal why would they do that?
 
It could be that the application for the 5kw daytime upgrade will not affect the current night pattern in any way. The 500 watt night pattern will be unchanged.
 
KLVL is already running 5kw day and 500 watts at tnight.
No more changes can be made to the station with out moving it and i do not see that ever happening.

From what I see in the FCC database KLVL right now is running 3kw daytime with a three tower array that throws most of the signal to the southwest. That's a problem since the site is southeast of downtown so the signal is beamed away from downtown. The CP appears to move one of the towers and change the phasing so that it beams 5kw almost due west. Metro Houston will almost certainly see a better signal.

However the nighttime signal remains unchanged beaming 500 watts to the southeast. That makes KLVL essentially a daytimer for most of Houston.
