What makes you think that the Sunday work is *instead* of the other
six days and nights?

(1) The equipment is too dependable these days to require all that much work.
You have engineers today who service 3 to 5 or more stations whereas there
used to be one engineer per station, who maybe moonlighted at a non-comm.

(2) Stations used to care about making a good presentation, so they wouldn't
allow the station to go off the air between 6am and midnight. Now, they don't
really care, as long as they can get their spotbreaks in when they come back
on.
