Unless, of course, they acquired more AM stations from commercial
broadcasters -- particularly in more populous areas.  (For example, if
Hall or whoever they are today decided they wanted the tax deduction
to jettison WJOY.)  For a network to make sense, they'd probably have
to add stations in Burlington, Middlebury, Rutland, and Montpelier --
at least some of which might be available for the right consideration.
