Camden Maine station off the air due to storm damage

[Dan Billings]

Camden was added, IMO, because it is an area with lots of well-off retirees 
who will/can contribute to Public Radio.  Northwestern Maine could use a 
signal lots more than one was needed in the midcoast area.

Also, due to budget problems, MPBN announced that they were going to drop 
the Calais radio station, as well as TV signals in Calais and Aroostook 
County.  Only political reaction that could have threatened their state 
appropriation caused the network to reverse those decisions.

Contributions top the need for a statewide network in terms of importance to 
MPBN.
