Creating customized feeds of this sort is still rather difficult for
non-programmers since its custom functionality that blogging tools
just don't come with straight out of the box.

It could probably be implemented with a plugin for Wordpress,
MovableType, or Drupal (perhaps such plugins exist?) that could add
the various custom fields/namespaces to the RSS feed.

If these stations are currently using Drupal then that would be the
place to start. I remember seeing a couple different Media Modules for
Drupal a while back, but I lost interest in Drupal a while ago...
might be worthwhile to look into it again and see if these have made
much progress. If not, I'm sure you could get a Drupal consultant to
make what you want relatively quick and cheap.
