499' 10 kW from Jamestown isn't too shabby.

It's going to have a deep null toward GR, though, for some reason.
The Grand Rapids transmitter will undoubtedly have some difficulty reaching the southern strand of townships in Kent County, the panhandle portion of Wyoming, and probably Cascade Twp, too. The Jamestown Twp site has good LOS of some of those areas. I hope they amend their application to loosen the null of the Jamestown Twp antenna pattern.

I think there is a CP for a LP TBN religious station also on channel 20 at Gun Lake with a null to the west.

Depends if WLLA ownership is willing to sell.
There are some deep nulls in WLLA's antenna pattern. Indoor antenna reception is likely difficult in some major cities in the region.
WLLA owns its tower. Wouldn't surprise me if they are collecting some decent rental revenue from leasing space.

The number of pending or approved construction applications for new 15 kW (or less) TV stations in West Michigan is completely insane:

Are they trying to fill the entire band? Why would you want RF 2, 3 or 4?
