"And per 75.1150, an ID may include the channel number between the
calls and
the city of license, so it is, if done this way, part of the legal ID:"
BETWEEN???

I thought the call letters had to be followed immediately by the city
of origin for it to be a legal id. I see you are referencing FCC rules
-- so was this changed recently?? I'm a little out of the loop.
Thanks.

73.1150. My typo. It is on the FCC website, too.

You may put the channel number, frequency and / or the licensee in the
middle between the Calls and the COL.

So, "KSSS, Channel 222, Metroland Broadcasting, Anytown" is a legal ID.
"Anytown" can be followed by any other town or towns, irrespective if the
signal gets there.

"Station Identification. Stations must make identification announcements
when they sign on and off for the day. They must also make the announcements
hourly, as close to the hour as possible, at a natural programming break. TV
stations may make these announcements on- screen or by voice only. Official
station identification includes the station's call letters followed by the
community or communities specified in its license as the station's location.
Between the call letters and its community, the station may insert the name
of the licensee, the station's channel number, and/or its frequency.
However, we do not allow any other insertion.
