Have you looked at any of the local university presses?  It might be
feasible under the premise that you're preserving broadcasting and
New England history.  Then again, the resulting tome might not read
like Rick Sklar; you'd probably have to collaborate with a tenured
professor.

Now that I think about it, would any of the major trades partially
sponsor such a book?  It's not like it would have to be published 
by one of the majors, just published, period.

I could fill a book myself, but no one would believe it. ;)
