[Scan-DC] Breaking News Network

[zebra305]

JB:

  I had heard some of the companies had been bought out by another company 
that was going 'nationwide' but didn't hear who it was.   When I was 
stationed in NC in the military, I had a pager from one company but the name 
escapes me at the moment.  They weren't bad but they didn't page many things 
that BNN does.
