That sounds about right.  I am an alumni of SUNY
Plattsburgh, and am fairly familiar with that part of
NY state.  I also remember hearing a story from
employees of WPTZ when I was still up there about
taped show/station IDs they would get from various
celebrities in TV shows they would carry.  Apparently
they got a real classic one from Jay Leno, which they
actually used on air where he said something to the
effect of "WPTZ North Pole....NORTH POLE!!!!   WHERE
IN THE HECK IS THAT!!!  I HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS EVEN A
TOWN CALLED NORTH POLE!"
