The latter. Even if WLIB now wanted to drop back to Class D status, 
there's a pile of MX'ed applications from other B and D stations around 
the country on 1190 (Atlanta, Kansas City, etc.) looking for more night 
power to fill the hole WOWO's downgrade from A to B left behind.

And there's no "negotiated interference" provision I'm aware of that 
would allow a Class D station to interfere with a co-owned Class A. 
You'd have to do the same thing Inner City did with WOWO and WLIB - drop 
the Class A down to a B, by reducing night power below 10 kW. It would 
take a very special case (like the WOWO/WLIB situation, where the 
co-channel Class D station was in the biggest market in the country, 
while the A was in market 100-something) to make that worth doing.
