Channel Sharing
I have noticed that after the re-pack, WNNE real-25 from Mount Ascutney (which I believe is a local translator for WPTZ on real-14 from Mount Mansfield) will be entering a channel sharing agreement with WPTZ. On rabbitears.info, this shows as 25 --> Sh. 14 for WNNE.
What exactly does this mean? My guess is that the ch-25 signal from Mount Ascutney will cease, and that the periodically-displayed station-ID overlay for WPTZ will now say WPTZ and WNNE, instead of just WPTZ. Is that right? It doesn't mean that the tower that was broadcasting 25 on Mount Ascutney will switch to 14, which would be big co-channel interference problem, right?
What is the short summary of the reasons behind these so-called channel sharing agreements?
