At least as far as the big noncomm networks go, since they blow off
their regular programming schedules, it's something of a given that
all the affiliates of a particular network would be doing fund-raising
at the same time.  I suspect in a market like Boston this does result
in some level of ``donor fatigue''.  On the other hand, perhaps it
would be much worse to have every week of every month be some public
station's fund drive, at least for people who listen to more than one!
