For what it's worth, today the FCC granted their application to change sites, go directional and increase daytime power to 22 kilowatts. Their nighttime power is 50 watts.
 
Night time is a joke 50 watts will not give the station good 20 mile range
 
Appears the 50 watt night signal is into the same three tower directional array as the day pattern. Probably makes it to Waller and Hockley; Tomball and the Cy-Fair area might be a reach before it gets buried in co-channel slop.

It is the same site (night pattern the same as daytime, too). Don't expect Waller and Hockley to get much signal at night due to the directional pattern (which you can see here: http://www.fccinfo.com/CMDProEngine...SearchType=Appl&sAppIDNumber=1497087&sHours=N ) and Tomball will likely be way beyond their coverage area. Incidentally, the application states that their COL will receive no coverage at night. No surprise there, since the transmitter site is roughly 28 miles west of Shenandoah!
