There was a time, not that long ago, when you had to have your studio
in the community of license.  95.7, you will recall, is the old
WMMW-FM and was originally a Meriden station.  Presumably, at some
point they wanted to move the studios to Hartford, but the Commission
was being ornery at the time and wouldn't let them discontinue
"service" to Meriden.  (Or maybe they had studios in both cities.)
The hyphenated community provided some flexibility.
