Even though WODS and WBZ share a GM they have different PD's and are no
longer in the same building.  If they were still at SFR all they would
have had to do was dial up the appropriate Studio Pgm bus on the router
on the air board and pot it up.  I don't think they can do that any
longer even if WODS wanted to air it (which I doubt).  The President's
speech is supposed to start about 9ish, figure an hour or so with
commentary after.  I guess it depends on whether BZ wants to take the
democratic response or not.  I know NPR is planning coverage til at least
11pm including analysis and the dems response.
