Can I have to seperate vendors, both with the same print on check name, so
that when I pay both their invoices the system only generates one check?

We are advertising on two different radio stations that are owned by the
same parent company so I only want to generate one check at the end of the
month but keep them seperate in the system.

If I interpret correctly, set up two advertising expense sub-accounts
and make the recordkeeping there, not at the vendor level...

Sub accounts work if that info is really needed on the financial reports.
Using class or the memo field would also allow you to quickly tally the
payments by radio station.
