Fwd: WILD Sign-offs??

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

 Something similar happens at WCEC-AM 1110 Salem, NH.  It signs on
at 5:45 am exactly, but with no station ID of any kind, just some
program from Radio Unica already in progress.  Sign-on for a 
presumably strict daytimer with transmitter in Salem, NH is supposed
to be 7:00 am.  I haven't checked its sign-off time lately, but
the last time I did, they pulled a WILD and exited the airwaves with
no warning!--

WILD must have an automatic timer that shuts off their transmitter at the 
correct time post-sunset, but they don't reflect the sign off with their 
programming whatsoever.

The transmitter often just goes off the air for the night right in the
middle 
of a song. This afternoon, it went off the air right in the middle of a 
commercial! I wouldn't have wanted to have been that sponsor.

I haven't even heard an ID at sign off lately, which I had thought was the 
minimum legality.
