The Center can pick up the work at night quite effeciently.


Can it? The nightly traffic reported for LEX doesn't seem to be enough to
keep the tower open, I assumed it was a 24 hour facility just to provide
radar coverage in that area. If Center radar covers that area adequately
then the tower and TRACON should have been closed. Comair would then have
crashed while attempting takeoff on the wrong runway at an uncontrolled
field and the media would have no controller to shift responsibility to.


Or the press could look at who made the mistake.
