But probably WJR still has more pop count in their daytime and 
primary/secondary nighttime coverage areas than either WXYT or WWJ.  WJR 
carries quite well on a car radio to beyond Pittsburgh in the daytime, and 
has a good signal over a lot of those big Ohio cities -- also Ft Wayne IN 
and in Ontario.   WWJ and WXYT don't do so well in those directions.

WJR once had an app with the FCC for 500 kW directional.  The coverage would 
still have been quite omni-- just pulling in to 50 kW ERP over a sector that 
would maintain their 2nd adjacent performance against CBL.
