Temple University runs a gaggle of stations or translators in 
Pennsylvania and ID's each one separately. When I was at WGBH, 
Boston, we had a network of stations along the East Coast. They were 
all independent and ID'd individually. One of them was owned by the 
Albany Medical College, now Northeast Public Radio. They also have a 
gaggle of stations in Upstate New York. The IDs take forever. It 
sounds a little like the legalese in car commercials.
