I don't know about where you are, but when I sent spots to stations,
even the major market, their preferred format was BetaSP (this was
less than a year ago), one had a preferred format of 1" open reel
until a few years ago, and another prefers D2. Also, peter suggested
that this is from a "local station", I would expect this to mean a
smaller station with a smaller budget, not one that can afford all of
the hardware and software setup, ongoing cost, and troubleshooting
that such a system would need.
