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!
