I thought the snippet about the third-party leasing restrictions on the tower seemed to be somewhat illegal. The Lotus lawyers must be old school. Limiting potential customers to religious groups sounds like fodder for a lawsuit in these modern times. The contract should have said "non-profit" instead...

Inteesting ... K285DL 104.9 has to have a F(50,10) interference profile some 20dB below co-channel KWCX' F(50,50) over the community of license. I wonder if this is the case?

This is similar to the lease deal that Emmis did with SBS to broadcast from Flint Peak in Glendale, CA. It restricted the SBS station from being a direct competitor to any Emmis station. When SBS switched the station to an Hispanic urban format, they were notified of eviction and had to relocate.
