Anybody out there have specific ID info on this??

Your loop bearing is pretty accurate Art. The FCC database shows a TIS
on 1610 licensed to the Ross Valley Fire Service in San Anselmo. The
transmitter site is listed as 150 Butterfield Road. The call sign is
WPKX394 and the power is 10 watts. The control point and business
address is 777 San Anselmo Ave. The contact person is JoAnne Lewis at
415-258-4686. 

The license specifies that they "shall transmit only non-commercial
voice information" but doesn't specifically prohibit music. There use to
be a provision that prohibited music on a TIS but I can no longer find
it in the rules. Many TIS stations broadcast some music content. The TIS
at Denver International Airport, for example, routinely plays seasonal
music during the holidays. They use the music as a bumper between
information segments.
