         Only for "national" programs and in a few major cities.

         Wrong.  There are many times I wish I knew
         the station/location of something that was on.
         For one thing, if you are on a highway, it gives
         you a clue as to whether you are going to
         lose the signal, or keep it for a while.

         For another, the location is helpful in the
         case of emergency messages ... or in
         terms of knowing where the "big sale" is...

         Of course, one could be narrow, parochial,
         and cynical and assume everyone else has
         RDBS, a computer with GPS assisted mapping,
         and a know-it-all in the back seat telling them
         where they are.
