RE: AM 740 not doing Legal ID

["Hakim Madjid" <HMadjid@mindspring.com>]

Well they may have corrected that problem - or been asleep at the switch the
one time I listened - because when I listened in that time, they were on
satellite, and in 40 minutes or so I did not hear a local id, that night,
though an annoncer came on every 20 minutes or so before a commercial break
id'ing swing music network show they were carrying....

I don't really listen WCRN at all so I have no idea what they're up to now,
I'll take you word for it if they id properly.  :-)

WCRN is very zealous about legals. Never heard them miss one and always
within a minute of the TOH. WCRN Worcester-Framingham-Boston.
