OK Patty, you got me curious so I checked the KSTE website. A&G airs on 
KSTE Sacramento (with a signal that's strong enough on the peninsula to 
be a 1kw local) from 6-10 am. Then they air an "A&G After Show" from 
10-11, and a "Best of A&G" (assuming that's not an oxymoron) from 
11-Noon. KKSF only simulcasts the 6-9 am piece of that, cutting away to 
Rush at 9am. Whether or not that qualifies as syndication, or it's just 
a simulcast like KFOG/KFFG, which would you consider their home market?
