Wouldn't it be interesting if US stations could lease the unused allocations
from Canada?  It could be done by the FCC as an STA that ran as long as the
lease was active.  This would be a win-win.  US stations would get more
coverage and revenue potential, and Canada would get some $$ as well as
retaining control of those allocations.
