How Many Decoders Does Your Station Need?

If your answer to any question below is yes, please check the corresponding box.

	1. Does your station air NPR special news coverage? (Consider whether major world events such as September 11 might cause you to do so.)
	2. Does your station air BBC special news coverage? (Again, consider whether major world events such as September 11 might cause you to do so.)
	3. Does your station air any regularly scheduled live programming, such as Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Classical 24, AIROS, or Radio Bilingüe?
	4. Does your station require any live feeds of programming that would be transmitted simultaneous to another feed (e.g., Morning Edition and Marketplace)?
	5. Does your station plan to multicast programming for HD Radio?
	6. Is your station feeding any other network streams?
	7. Do your business continuity plans require you to have additional ports available to cover equipment failures?

Each of the options above requires a decoder port. If you've checked more than four boxes, your station should purchase at least one additional decoder.
