Fwd: RE: Metropolitan Opera on WMVU-AM Almost FM Quality (WMVU Very Self-effacing)

["Laurence Glavin" <lglavin@lycos.com>]

 I wouldn't be surprised if some other MetOpera affiliates miss their
legal ID's.  I never heard WCRB-FM miss an ID when they had it, or
WBOQ-FM now....but several affiliates are college-operated non-comms
with minimal budgets. I can imagine some of them have students operating
the board who perhaps spend Saturday afternoons while Wagner And Verdi
are being performed paying more attention to a class assignment
or Yahoo! on a PC.

If I interpret the Friendly Candy Company's (FCC) Broadcast Station ID rules
correctly, WMVU is in violation of such if they did not legally ID at the
first convenient break.
