Even though this is not really a Telecom topic, and the thread has mostly passed by, I want to mention two more which may be of some interest. One is historical. The station which was CBS owned and operated when I came to this area, and which passed to the hands of The Helen Broadcasting Company (named for the wife of a fast food chain owner I think) and is now going to the Boston Celtics, still is and I hope will continue to be named after its founder. One of the older stations in this area is WEEI, started by the Edison Electric Illuminating Company, which itself no longer exists under that name. Readers who have occasion to watch Mystery, Masterpiece Theatre, Nova, or This Old House (among others) may have noticed the "WGBH Boston" logo that precedes these programs. It is named for the place not in Boston but in nearby Canton where the transmitter of the affiliated (and older) public radio station is located, in the Great Blue Hills reservation. Anyone want to hear about KVNU and KLGN radio in northern Utah? No, I thought not. /JBL
