"Did  they ever, especially the small ones?

I suspect the answer is  money.  Not only do generators cost money to buy and
install, they  also need to be maintained, and tested regularly, all of which
costs  money.  And a lot of the smaller stations do not have  full-time
engineering staffs, meaning this all would need to be paid for on  an hourly
basis."
I worked for a small 1KW station in NH that had full back up power (WEMJ).  
If I didn't live in a townhome complex with the association police I would get  
one. I don't know if I would opt for a diesel generator but the newer natural 
 gas units are really nice. The gas company installs and maintains them like 
a  water heater.
