Yes.. I know, and my company runs the stations on automation overnights.
But it just seemed the HD Alliance position implied local origination. I
think it would be great if HD2 could eventually be "a station" and
something new or better - or as good as it used to be (WCBS before the
flip). Economics will prevent same, though. At least for a long time,
until receivers get out in large numbers.
