Re: [IRCA] 1430 WDIC

Well good for Paul as he got to hear a station that he might not have
heard BUT I have a question about daytimers on late:  If a daytimer
doesn't sign off at night, due to a technology problem, how does the
automation know to ID at the TOH?  I have always wondered about this.  I
understand that if a station gets its programming off of a bird, that
would still flow just fine but if a daytimer is on in error at 4 AM how
would the system know to insert ID's and ads and not just have dead air
during the local drop in times?  Just curious.

73,
Dave in Indy

Paul-

They may have had a technical problem that either caused the station to
sign on too early today or perhaps a problem that caused them to never
sign off yesterday.  NIce catch!

1430 WDIC Clinchco VA heard here in Scotland at 0900 UTC today with a
fairish signal, although it is shown as being a daytimer. 
 
Any ideas? I presume 4 am would not be 'daytime' in VA!
