Actually, what I should have said/intended to say was 7,500 (I have a decimal place problem).

I was not involved in any decision about why/should the station be purchased by OPB but it was more about serving a large community currently without OPB Radio than it was about getting new members. Just as we have transmitters/translaters across the state providing TV to communities with very few members.

I can't answer Rocky's question completely. From my understanding, the only groups that can own public broadcasting stations have to be non-profit - universities, government entities or community chartered organizations.
