"Rio" allows any Class A to go to 100 kW days (subject to National rules, 
in which cases the U.S. and Canada do not allow more than 50 kW in any 
case), with the night power as the maximum of whatever it was pre-"Rio" 
with no antenna system changes, or a maximum of 50 kW, with appropriate 
antenna system changes.

The three Mexican Class As which were grandfathered at less than 50 kW 
(20 kW for 1000, 10 kW for 1190 and 1550) may increase to a maximum of 50 
kW nights with changes, and 100 kW days, presumably with no changes.

The one Canadian Class A which is 10 kW DA-1 may increase to 50 kW days 
and nights, with antenna system changes.

The Canadian Class A (a former Class I-A) which, under "Rio", went from 
10 kW ND-U to 50 kW DA-1, may stay at 50 kW DA-1, but it moved twice, and 
in each case it was 10 kW DA-1.

The U.S. Class A which is 25 kW ND-D and is grandfathered at 10 kW DA-N 
may increase to 50 kW DA-2. For whatever reason, the Commish allowed a 
low-powered co-channel daytimer to go on-air, presumably as a "first 
service", several counties to the north of this Class A, thereby limiting 
this Class A's daytime upgrade opportunities.

The Bahamian Class A (also a former Class I-A) which went from 10 kW ND-U 
to 50 kW DA-1 under "Rio" may go to 100 kW if it wants, but 50 kW is 
probably more than that Nation needs and 10 kW ND-U is probably more 
reasonable.
