     Since the press transmissions were for subscribers only that 
would make sense. There were two transmissions a day one on 
Pacific time the other Eastern time. RCA and MRT transmitted from 
their main stations only.  I heard press only once from WNU and 
it was hand sent and interrupted by normal traffic. That is the 
station would send some press then break for message traffic and 
then send more press. The RCA and MRT stations handled normal 
traffic on some of their frequencies. KPH had a long message 
listing them send during silent periods when they broke the press 
transmissions. All this disappeared sometime around the 1980s to 
be replaced by RTTY transmissions.
