The XML grabber should be pulling down the lineup, which contains a
map of stationIDs and names/callsigns. Check around in your download
directory for your GBR-000{whatever} file.

The map portion will look like:

"map": [
        {
            "stationID": "24326",
            "channel": "001"
        },
        {
            "stationID": "17154",
            "channel": "002"
        }
    ]

and then the station portion will look like:

"stations": [
        {
            "stationID": "19567",
            "name": "KCBSDT (KCBS-DT)",
            "callsign": "KCBSDT",
            "affiliate": "CBS",
            "broadcastLanguage": [
                "en"
            ],
            "descriptionLanguage": [
                "en"
            ],
            "broadcaster": {
                "city": "Studio City",
                "state": "CA",
                "postalcode": "91604",
                "country": "United States"
            },
            "logo": {
                "URL":
"https://s3.amazonaws.com/schedulesdirect/assets/stationLogos/s10098_h3_aa.png",
                "height": 270,
                "width": 360,
                "md5": "68713effdd9df195833a56"
            }
        },
        {
            "stationID": "88571",
            "name": "KCBSDT2 (KCBS-DT2)",
            "callsign": "KCBSDT2",
            "affiliate": "CBS",
            "broadcastLanguage": [
                "en"
            ],
            "descriptionLanguage": [
                "en"
            ],
            "broadcaster": {
                "city": "Studio City",
                "state": "CA",
                "postalcode": "91604",
                "country": "United States"
            },
            "logo": {
                "URL":
"https://s3.amazonaws.com/schedulesdirect/assets/stationLogos/s10098_h3_aa.png",
                "height": 270,
                "width": 360,
                "md5": "68713effdd9df195833a56"
            }
        },

It sounds like the grabber may need a patch to dump it into a more
readable format.
