I'm thinking that the cost of electricity to run the transmitters is
going to roughly double the cost, as well as maintenance on two sets of
equipment.

So? The marginal cost of electricity for the extra transmitter
(remember they still have to run one no matter) is going to be very
small.

Oh really? Megawatts used daily is small?
When compared to the entire cost of running a station, yeah.
Running both sides of transmitter does not even remotely double the
costs of running the entire station. Especially when you are talking
only the marginal costs (those specific to the second transmitter).
Again, whether or not these marginal costs are such that they make
any sense to run the second station, don't know. Merely talking about
possible options the FCC had at the time.
