The new owners are going to have WVXA reclassified as a commercial 
station. The translators were a donation of goodwill.

This explains a lot.  Since the translator serves an area outside WVXA's 1 
mV/m contour, it cannot be owned by the new licensee since he will operate the 
station commercially.  The donation seems to be the easy way to get out of this 
problem (while also realizing a tax benefit).
