                            Also called an “interconnect.†A feed that is transmitted to stations, but is not intended for over-the-air broadcast. Closed circuit feeds are often used as a means of informing stations about new programs or membership or interconnection issues, and are sometimes produced as a teleconference so station staff can listen to the satellite feed and call the NPR studio with comments.
