Only because I was there, I need to correct this mis-statement. The first
radio station to simulcast was WXYC, the student station of the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We managed to beat the KU station by a
couple weeks. More info on that historic moment at www.wxyc.org.
It's important to me because it was a hell of a lot of work, not to
mention the concern about the legal issues that forced us into a whole
boatload of legal research that was largely unprecedented.

"To penetrate this secret. The mountain was here, unconcealed, but no one saw it or thought about it, no one knew it existed except the engineers and teamsters and local residents, a unique cultural deposit, fifty million tons by the time they top it off, carved and modeled, and no one talked about it but the men and women who tried to manage it, and he saw himself for the first time as a member of an esoteric order, they were adepts and seers, crafting the future, the city planners, the waste managers, the compost technicians, the landscapers who would build hanging gardens here, make a park one day out of every kind of used and lost and eroded object of desire." - Don DeLillo, Underworld
