Wow!

Carrollton (according to a map of Texas that I have) is something like 20-22 miles northwest of downtown Dallas.

With Carrollton being so close to Dallas, Oklahoma City's KFOR and KOCO should not be overpowering KDFW and KXAS respectively like this.

Not too many years ago, local cable TV viewers would also have noticed these Oklahoma City stations' signals obliverating KDFW and KXAS (as cable-TV systems generally received signals of local TV stations over-the-air through large antennas). Today, I suspect that in Dallas/Fort Worth, like most markets, local broadcast-TV station signals are fed to cable head-ends by fiber-optic links and not through over-the-air reception, meaning that area cable viewers had no idea this strange DX was going on.
