It's funny. Some people get teed off because the station
"overannounces" the call sign or name. Yet...some of these people
also get annoyed when you DON'T hear a call sign or name until the top
of the hour.

Radio is a mass medium, and you can't keep everyone happy. So the station
must make decisions based on what they perceive the audience wants, and what
is good for the station. Another classic example can be local severe
weather. Two people can be listening to the same broadcast, and one thinks
you're not doing enought to cover the weather situation, while the other
thinks you're over-reacting and trying to scare people and would you please
shut up about the damn weather! Of course when we get them hurricanes here,
nobody thinks you're broadcasting too much weather! HI!
