But Paul (Walker), I have heard daytime stations at night, running ID's
and adsets and everything (and some only w/"bird' programming and
nothing at TOH time but dead air). Wonder if maybe the daytimer was
streaming 24/7 and maybe that is what the inadvertenly left on
tranmitter was broadcasting?
73,
Dave

The system doesnt KNOW to do it, it has to be told....It doesnt
instinctively know to insert an iD, and if you don't hear any IDs at
TOH,
then assume it was a mistake because stations have to actually program
them
in
A Daytimers automation is usually programmed for only when it's on air,
for
good reason..... no programming is usually done after hours, no local
spots,
ids or content..
