Small stations... night power... local programming? That's an oxymoron
times two! <g>
Heck, even major-market stations at night are simply tx's of packaged
feeds with advertising inserted by a computer.
How many 'small' stations even have a local news department? The old
idea of full-service programming went out the window years ago.

Who cares about WGY in Boston or Pittsburgh? Who cares about KDKA in
Cincinatti or NYC?
Reduce Class A Statiobs protection down from 750 miles to 300 miles and be
done with it. Most people, if they really wanna listen to WGY or KDKA from
far away listen online.
The only people this 750 mile rule really help are DXers and the few
distant distant listeners who don’t have Internet.
Why service a few at the sacrifice and cost of many? Allow small stations
night power or more night power to provide local programming
