that horrible BEEP

[Bob Nelson]

Speaking of beeps--or bells-- I've noticed over the years some "blips" during radio
network newscasts (maybe an audible signal sent to stations for some reason)...

...and how about the days when you'd tune to one of the network TV affiliates in prime time (especially)
and hear a bell at the top of the hour? Sometimes you would even see, briefly,
a slide for the flagship station--so when Ch 7 was the CBS affiliate in the 70s,
you would hear that beep and perhaps briefly see a slide for "WCBS-TV 2 New York City".

Ding! (Maybe related to the Southwest Airlines ding!)
