Re: Signal Transmission and Delay

[Cooper Fox <fox893@yahoo.com>]

Speaking of sindicated(sp??) shows.  I noticed
something cool about "Dpn And Mike".  Instead of the
stations airing spots/promos/Wx/PSAs/etc in that 90
second space between the end of the last show and the
top of the hour, Don and Mike feed a teaser for their
show.  I listen to them of 96.7/960 The Zone in
Burlington.  Do all their affiliates do this?
