Example: the 3 former IntelliSTARs in DFW:

Addison: #22106
Irving: #22107
Lewisville: #22110

The only thing it's useful for is reporting errors.

If 21896 and 21897 are what serve Atlantic City, then why is 21876's CC site Atlantic City? Shouldn't it be a city in Cape May County?

21876 is supposed to be Wildwood or Rio Grande, not exactly sure. I know the Cape May County Intellistars have Atlantic City as their CC site.

Speaking of Cape May County, I saw a Junior the other day around Woodbine/Marmora, NJ!

He asked what they mean, not what your ID's are.

Really? My aunt lives in that area. Next time I'm down there I'll have to take a look.

Which is moot, because we don't do that here (at least yet, anyway-maybe we will if TWC ever gets smart).
