they are competing against stations in a different state. in my mind
it's no different than stations in Delaware having to compete against
stations in Pennsylvania or Oregon - it's as arbitrary. the biggest
stations in DC are very limited in antenna space - only those that are
on a few office buildings or a Smithsonian have much room to work with -
why operate if you have to compete with Formula 1 cars and you can only
go fast and turn left?
