[BC] Sports headsets

[Mike McCarthy]

In years past, NBC has distributed equipment to it's O&O's.  I'm sure this 
year will be no different since the DTV conversion by many of them are 
incomplete and they could use the hardware...and in some cases even the 
wiring.  While you might see some stuff at those places, it's usually the 
post distribution stuff which no station or equipment broker wants.

More often than not, it will also be seen in LA given major NBC programming 
events are done in Burbank.
