CNet was supposed to be pulled on Sunday at Midnight(or Monday
morning if you want to get really specific).

I don't think so. According to CNet people are
communicated with this week, WBPS pull-out doesn't spell
the end of the hi-tech net...at least for now. There's
always Sirius or XM or its on-line stream if you were
a WBPS listener of CNET...

Not clear, but there's definitely something wrong.
Sometimes syndicated talk shows(that's what AirTime
is planning to air on AM 890) need to have additional dish
or two installed to get specific shows from certain
syndicators. Not sure if that's the case.

CNET is not bird-fed to WBPS. All ISDN-piped.
