There is a Vancouver, B.C./Bellingham, Wa. T.V. station which currently
shows the temperatures on its weather maps in Celsius for British
Columbian locations and Fahrenheit for Washinton locations.  The station
is registered as a U.S. station (call sign begins with K, not C, etc.),
and its transmitter is in the U.S.; but the studio, offices, etc. are in
Canada -- truly an international operation!
