Or, more likely the station was airing a game (Ch. 42 is primarily used for 
sports), and Westwood One never sent an "end of game" tone (yes, they still 
use subsonic tones).  Happens way too often.  When I worked for WTPL I 
wired a silence sense relay to the automation so that it would read 1 min 
of dead air as "end of game"....still not foolproof...sometimes they didn't 
wait a full minute before they put the loop on channel.
