I believe I'm correct in saying that the aforesaid "cricket chirp" used by
CBS Radio isn't supposed to be heard by listeners prior to the hourly
"bong."  It's designed to be a - :01 time alert to prepare stations for the
newscast.  A lot of stations overlook that and play it, but I've read
comments that it's kind of unprofessional.   -Doug
