They suggested that if only 5% of their listeners (their figure) were participating financially (aside from taxes), then maybe they could develop a device to "blank" the broadcast from the non-participating 95%'s radios. So that only those who paid could enjoy the benefit. Sounds like cable is what they are suggesting. :) Respectfully, David L. Duff. Stephen Gandy wrote: > > "David W.
