Legal ID's and the FCC....

True.  And I do think the FCC *used* to enforce this point.  In the '80s,
 WSNE
Taunton-Providence used to do a similar thing, IDing with a jungle of  "93.3,
WSNE <Taunton> Providence!"  The word "Taunton" was spoken quietly  and
quickly
between the sung calls and the sung word "Providence."  They'd  been using it
for
a long time, then suddenly went to the jocks doing live  IDs (with no other
programming/liner/etc. changes).  I was never able to  verify it, but the
consensus was that they got dinged for it.

I think the case studiy was WGNG.....which was liscenced to PA-TUCK-ET, Rhode
Island....next door to Providence...Had a great signal for 500(?) watts at
550AM.  

They were trying to compete with Providence stations....
And had a sung ID: 

         "W-G-N-G! <barely audible:"pawtucket"> RHODE ISLANDDDDD!"

They were definitely cited for this.

RE: The WROR ID...Let's face it! ....the FCC doesn't care anymore....While it
rates high with you and me....It's definitely off their radar screens at the
moment...
