Re: New WBZ top of the hour ID

[Scott Saloway <saloway@bu.edu>]

WCBS (am) most definitely does use the Infinity Broadcasting ID at the top
of the hour. It's usually either Dan Rather or Charles Osgood saying
something resembling - "For the most comprehensive coverage from the the
area's largest radio news team, stay with WCBS and CBS News. WCBS, New
York. An Infinity Broadcasting Station." (Followed by the live anchor's
time check, the CBS chime, and the network news).

Isn't it a shame Infinity insists on not streaming its stations? It would
be so easy to check which ones are doing the ID...
