Canada already had 690 and Mexico already had 730, so the bump(s)  
took place when 740 was inserted for Canada, and again at 800 for  
Mexico, 860 for Canada, 900 for Mexico, 990 for Canada, 1010 for  
Canada, 1050 for Mexico and 1220 for Mexico. Obviously, no bump was  
necessary when 540 was added for Canada. The BCB was extended down  
from 550 (to 540) and up from 1500 (to 1600) at that same time.

No actual bump at 1050 as KNX was reassigned to 1070 (should have  
been to 1080, displacing the station then on that frequency), while  
WTIC and KRLD were forced to share 1080, but moving WTIC to 1080  
solved the time-share issue with co-channel WBAL. Similar  
arrangements existed for WOWO (KEX) and WWVA (KVOO), and for the same  
reasons.

Almost all stations were reassigned by the "table" method, with the  
change being either no change at all, +10 kHz, +20 kHz, +30 kHz, +40  
kHz or -10 kHz (1500, only), and with the eighty or so remaining  
changes being done outside of the "table" method.

As mentioned, KNX was not reassigned by "table".

Other prominent stations not reassigned by "table" were WCAU and  
WOAI, which swapped frequencies, thereby making WOAI 20 kHz (instead  
of 10 kHz) away from the new Mexican high-power operation on 1220,  
and WCAU 20 kHz (instead of 10 kHz) away from the full-time operation  
of WOWO on 1190.
