I kind of agrtee with DX Ac on this one. listening for only two inutes
dosn't always give you a correcr i.d even if you actually heard a i.d.

such as a statin being relayed. as a made-up example HCJB Quito,
Ecuador being relayed over WCRB Okechobee Florida or WMLD Maryland.

and to make matters even more confusion, one of my local tv stations
constajntly I.D.'ed in a way that made them look like they were actually
the other tv station in town!!!!

they did own both tv stations in town. WOIO 19 and WUAB 43. showing
different programming. 19 is CBS. 43 is UPN.

43 identified with "WOIO-TV 19 Shaker Heights-Cleveland" in big printed
letters taking up almost the whole screen followed by "WUAB-TV 43
Lorain-Cleveland" in really tiny print so tiny that you couldn't really
see it on a 20 inch tv unless you were right up at the screen, and even
then, you really needed a magnifying glass.

Is that way of giving "station identification" legal?
