Nope.  How can a script get from "PaxWest", "Worship", and "Faith" to
KPXBDT2, KPXBDT3, and KPXBDT4?  It might help to know that KPXB-DT maps
to subchannel 1 and that zap2it refers to it as KPXBDT1.

Hmmm.  If we strip out all of the non-alphanumeric glyphs and key off of
the primary channel name, we *might* get a good guess for zap2it.
