Yeah, I heard it on WBUR. It was not what I'd call a 
memorable event. If I recall, WBUR completed its local 
ID, which runs right up to 59:59 and then cut to the 
network. There were several seconds of tone (not nearly 
39 sec). Then the local ID was repeated. Then a couple 
more seconds of dead air. Then back to tone for a couple 
more seconds and then the WESUN began, though not quite 
at the beginning. Considering the goofs one hears on 
most stations these days (WBNW regularly runs some of 
the most egregeous--several hours of dead air, for 
example), I barely took note of it.
