Don't even lose any sleep over it, Bob, it sounds like shop-talk to me, and if they don't let you into their shop, then you're under no obligation to understand it.

I agree with you. With your knowledge of the organizations in and around Mexico over the years, if you are unfamiliar with these abbreviations, then they are obviously fairly specialized. It will be interesting to see if anyone is up to the challenge to see what they might possibly mean. I can easily leave them as is with a note, it just bothers me that I do not know them more than anything else-I'll be in bed tonight with these going around and around trying to think of possibilities!!! HEHE.

It is not our job to decipher people's unestablished acronyms. It is their job to define them when they use them. They mean nothing to us, and they mean nothing to any other reader outside their tiny circle. Thus, "meaning unknown" is quite legitimate.

Then I'd suggest discussing this with your client; those are obviously acronyms referring to a very specific setting and guesswork will not do. If no one clarifies them for you, then leave a note: "meaning unknown".

Henry, that's all I've got unfortunately. It is basically a text about someone discussing things that he has done for the BN such as prime time interviews, etc...... in order to get their name out and to improve their ratings over other networks. That's why I am gussing that CB possibly is dealing with coverage of some kind .....

It's going to take a much better defined CONTEXT than this...
