Sure,  but i am I intrigued that your listing provider (who was your 
listing provider?) is ending (and maybe starting) programs at 1sec before 
the hour. Do all your other programs end at xxxxxxxxxx5959 ie the ones not 
around the end of the year? Or xxxxxxxxxx2959 if ending on the half hour? 
Just curious.
