Mike - (I now have all the icons working in normal res, thanks for all 
your help!) You mention in an earlier post (above) that we could use the 
hi-res versions of the logos. I was curious as to what the difference 
would be so gave it a shot. I changed a few of the icons to the hi-res 
version as you instructed, and reran the scripts to reset and refill the 
database. The scripts ran without error but the hi-res versions of the 
icons then failed to show up in the schedules menus. Dunno what the 
problem could be, so I switch back to the jpg versions and all is well 
again.....

You also asked if I would be willing to take notes and write up my 
experiences in the wiki. I sure am willing, but wonder... if this method 
of getting icons is about to get overhauled then is it worth it? Or 
perhaps I should wait and I would be willing to help with the 
documentation later when the dust has settled on the new technique of 
getting icons.....

Also, I have a corrected version of the master_iconmap.xml file (minus 
my local changes for non network affiliated stations) if there is any 
interest in it...
