Another thing: I'm not sure anyone (average listener) cares about night 
skywave.

In my small market, I get 4 AM's, and can also get San Antonio 140 miles 
and Houston 200 miles. Right now, 820 and 1080 from Dallas barrel in.

But.. at any time in the evening, there's no local content, except a 
baseball game. If there is no game, it's 3 signals with the same satellite 
show, only the local ads are different.

So who needs skywave anyhow?!

That's one view. Over-The-Road truckers were / are early adopters of 
Satellite (XM/Sirius). and use those services without terrestrial 
augmentation. No more trying to pick up the 3-letter powerhouses for that 
overnight drive - just punch up channel xx and enjoy. And do note that on 
XM's lineup there are overnight talk geared to truckers.
