As Pete noted in the late 1990's KIRN paid KBOI to change from ND to directional at night (six towers; that can't have been cheap). They did that to clear the way to move to a new transmitter site and run considerably more power than they were. They got the CP they wanted but later decided against it. I wonder how much they paid KBOI.
KBOI was always directional at night on 670, but the original 1968 DA was a four-tower that put a fairly broad lobe over the west while nulling the signal toward WMAQ in Chicago. At the time, those were the only two stations on 670 in North America.
The modification to KBOI (which was completed in 2000) kept one of the four original towers, took down three others, then put up five more for a total of six. No, it can't have been cheap!
