I think a lot of this depends on where the feed originates.  Some large bulk subscribers get out of area feeds, which may be the case at Stanford.  For example, if you are part of a local cable co-op like Palo Alto is (was?), sometimes the "geographic" location of the feed is not your physical location, but the provider's.  For example, for a while I lived in an apartment complex that had its own cable deal.  Part of that deal was that the feed came through a source about 30 miles away, which meant for that the local weather forecast on the Weather Channel was for that town, rather than mine.

Stanford seems like a large enough corporate body (especially given its non-incorporated status) that they might very well have a feed from a large provider that isn't geographically tagged appropriately.

Just a thought.
