It seems funny to me that Boston stations would be carried instead of the 
closer Springfield or Albany stations.

I was in Barre, Vermont yesterday, and noticed that there is no Fox 
station in the Burlington market, although there are UPN and WB 
affiliates.  The Vermont TV Guide lists WNYW New York (channel 5) and 
FOX, presumably this national feed.  Fox ads in the magazine listed WNYW 
and WFXT Boston (channel 25).  To make things more confusing for me, 
although TV Guide had listings for FOX even when there is no network 
programming, the local paper displayed "off air" before 8 and after 10 PM.

What is this Fox National Feed and why wouldn't the Brattleboro system 
carry the signal of WFXT or WXXA Albany (channel 23)?
