Actually yes...why does the intro for "On Point" always say "From 
WBUR-Boston and WRNI-Providence..." but the Connection's intro always says 
"From WBUR-Boston (and NPR)..."

Why the WRNI part for On Point?  Will it go away if On Point gets picked up 
by NPR?   It's already on the bird, isn't it...I thought they had a few 
affiliates outside of the usual WBUR Group of stations?
