This seems to be one of the differences between regular 'pro-audio/recording'
boards and those targeted for use in radio broadcast environments.
Similarly, it seems that virtually no 'recording' style board sports a cue
buss, while the very thought of trying to run a radio operation without such
a buss is enough to induce anxiety in this old 'master control' operator.
These are all special features for the broadcasting folks -- available, but
unfortunately you usually end up paying a premium for them.

Cheers!
