This is another way the remaining mom-and-pop stations can make some
extra money.   For a monthly fee, they would arrange to host the
"legal main studio" and public file for one or more of these corporate
stations and "loan" the required two full time employees.

This type of arrangement has been going on for several years some
small towns around here.   For example, see the last photo on this
