[BC] lpfm question

The TV ran two antennas, and the FM was combined into the aural antenna.

The FM signal really sucked.  I always wondered why they didn't  
replace the aural antenna with a CP antenna.  That would have served  
two purposes.  It would have made mobile reception work for the FM,  
AND it would have made in car listening of Channel 6 work much better.

I used to spend a lot of time in Richmond, and I NEVER heard them  
telling people they could listen in their cars.  In other markets I  
have heard Channel 6 stations run promos like, "Don't miss Channel 6  
News at 6 just because you are not home yet.  Tune to 87.7 on you car  
radio."

Over Christmas I heard a radio station in the Philadelphia market  
running promos stating you should listen to their news because  
Channel 6 will soon be off FM!
