As it was explained to me, all of the other local channels requested, and got permission to broadcast at higher power. WUSA didn't request it. Its not like I'm far from DC, hell, I get VA channels. idiots.

I can not get one of the major Canadian networks, even though they are very close, because they only transmit their digital channel with 3kW from Toronto. Yet all their transmitters in other locations are 10X or more that, but just a tad far for me. You'd think their Toronto power would be the highest, since it has to be the most populous part of Canada, but nooooo.... I have no trouble getting any of the U.S. networks that have to be ~50 miles away (over water).
Edit: actually, because it's so populous, they probably get a massive amount of people-coverage with that little bit of power, and the $$ saved goes into their shrinking bank account. I guess it's tough for the traditional networks these days...
