A whole mess of new LDTV permits for Montgomery.

The FCC just released the floodgates on low power digital permits today, with a daily digest that stretched a whopping 82 pages long.  Buried in that mass of new authorizations were several for the Montgomery market.  They all belong to "Luckland Corp" and are: W15DI-D, W19DS-D, W26EC-D, W35DC-D and W38FC-D.  All have between 100 and 15,000 watts and almost all are directional to one part of the city.

Montgomery already has several other construction permits for new LDTV outlets, belonging to Mako Communications and EICB-TV, among others.  These include W14DT-D, W30DJ-D, W26EF-D, W45DS-D and W50EK-D.  These were all issued at earlier dates.

This makes for a total of TEN new low power digital permits for the Montgomery area.  I'll be surprised if even one is ever built out and put on the air.  More than likely these are resellers looking to make a profit by selling them on to someone else.
