Re: [IRCA] 531 Australian ID

Theo and Bruce,

Thanks very much for your suggestions concerning the 531 DU station identity.

Actually the light pop music continued for about 15 minutes after that ID, Theo, right up until the time that sunrise enhancement collapsed around 1350 UTC. I didn't know that 531-PI ever had English programming with Western pop music, so that was a surprise to me. The station has had a hammerlock on the frequency here all week here, with only an occasional Aussie talker sneaking in at times. Since 531-PI wasn't around as a co-channel during this mystery recording, your suggestion does make sense. What kind of puzzles me, though, is why 531-PI would have this YL announcer with absolutely no Samoan accent playing this western pop music for an extended time, especially when their focus seems to be on promoting the Samoan language, culture and music. Weird!

73, Gary
