    NB> Which is, I believe, the set-up as stated above for North Country   
    NB> Public Radio.  They cover all of the top part of New York State, along   
    NB> with Vermont.  I think that that is what is being started here in   
    NB> Rochester, to a lesser extent, with adding WJSU to the WXXI signal.   
    NB> Locally it's a bit stranger, even... as WJSU sometimes is simulcasting   
    NB> with WXXI-FM and sometimes with WXXI-AM.  The AM station has all the   
    NB> newsfeeds (FM only takes the 3-5 minutes on the top of the hour, and   
    NB> not every hour, either), and passes them to WJSU.  I think that that's   
    NB> also what is happening with the newsfeeds to WRUR, that it actually   
    NB> comes through WXXI-AM rather than being WRUR hooking up directly to   
    NB> the same national feed.  Both WJSU and WRUR are FM stations, BTW.   
      
   NCPR might be like what we have here, where the state runs the system from one   
   location. WUNC, (Chapel Hill) has transmitters nearly all across the state,   
   and they have one main distribution point. in effect, it's one station, part   
   state funds, part donations. they do the same thing here with Public TV, it   
   covers the state , the ID list suggests that might be the case with you, too.   
   I don't know, one would have to see who owns what.   
   Down in our courser of the state Public radio is community owned,with national   
   feeds that we pay for., and some local programming, isn't it's ahrd to tell   
   anymore whats what.
