Nope.  The audio source forks; one fork hits this box, and the other
hits the transmission tower.  It is specifically unedited, as they want
to preserve all the advertisements (how CARP affects that isn't my
deal) and basically have things as-is.

That's entirely possible.

Once this thing is live, it'll be advertised in the usual spots.  The
station's web page (not my fault) is at:

   http://www.kcaaradio.com/

They'll just be archiving the local talent.  The nationally-syndicated
shows will take care of themselves.
