Wouldn't there be a way, with all this digital technology available, to 
develop a system that inserts the call letters for that particular 
station in the network when it has to ID itself instead of hearing ALL the 
station call letters in series?

You know...install some sort of hard drive, cart machine, minidisk or 
something at the repeater stations' transmitters and when it comes to ID 
time, central control sends a subsonic tone down the line to trigger the 
ID "carts" (for lack of a better word) at each individual station?
