""Most  of the Fort Kent transmitter's coverage overlaps with WMEM 106.1 
Presque  Isle, and the remainder is over largely unpopulated (or French 
Canadian)  areas - but Calais and southwestern New Brunswick will 
completely lose  public radio if this goes down, since the area is out of 
range from the  other MPBN transmitters."""
Many years ago before satellite radio there was real satellite radio. Radio  
stations used to ride along on unused subcarriers of TV signals for areas  
that lacked local radio. Used to enjoy listening to the radio station in the  
Yukon. "It's minus 21 under heavy snow in the Yukon tonight" 
 
It wouldn't be feasible to put MPBN on it's own radio transponder but how  
about putting it on one of the MPBN's TV stations that cover the area on the SAP 
 channel?
