Mainly legacy AMs, many of which had their original antenna systems 
downtown, on a building.

KFWB had a tall vertical in WLA before selling that site and moving in 
with KLAC, near downtown LA.

The original KFWB horizontal antenna towers, seen in numerous features 
over the years, and even parodied in a Warner Bros cartoon (KFWB was then 
owned by Warners) stood in Hollywood for many years. Assuming they were 
still usable that site might be a candidate for a separate auxiliary.

1150 in LA is presently licensed at 1020's site, but it is (re) building 
its Monticito site as an auxiliary.

The original 1150 towers still exist on the Arcade Building in downtown 
LA, and at least one other station made a recent attempt to use those 
towers, and they were functional, so that could mean KTLK has one real 
and one potentially real separate sites for its auxiliary.

I don't think there are many, if any, other stations which could claim to 
have two separate auxiliary sites.

It is far more likely, however, for a station which was originally 
licensed in the 19-teens or twenties.
