Dan,

Look at my earlier comments on the NWS.  I included reference to using 
major networks as a relay tool.  EMF was specifically mentioned given 
the sheer number of owned stations fed by satellite and the fact you use 
a bird different than all the other networks.  That alone is a point of 
redundancy.

The challenge is getting rid of the local daisy chain relay system while 
keeping connection with local/state agencies.
