I agree with you.  I've also often wondered whether the listeners care to
which city a staton is licensed.  Growing up in southern New England, I
listened to the stations I liked... whether it was WPUT/Putnam, CT (yes, i
did enjoy WPUT!), WVBF/Framingham-Boston, or CKLW/Windsor.

At least two stations in my neck of the woods bury their legal IDs. I wish
the FCC would mandate a specific policy toward that.
