We have a similar situation in Santa Barbara. Two local stations (KTMS-990 
and KBKO-1490) are simulcasting. Here is the only logical explanation I can 
think of. KTMS (5 KW daytime and 500 watts at night DA-2) has a deep null to 
the southeast to protect XECL and not overlap first adjacent KFWB (despite 
the fact that KFWB does not get out well). As a result it does not have much 
of a signal in Ventura County. Due to the extremely high cost of housing in 
Santa Barbara many people work here but live in Ventura County. KBKO, (1 KW 
non-directional fulltime on a graveyard frequency) despite having two other 
stations (KZSB-1290 and KIST-1340) diplexing on their tower, covers most of 
Ventura County quite well.
