Re: [IRCA] 1430 WDIC



Thanks for all the interesting discussion. I emailed WDIC but so far haven't got a reply.

For anyone interested, here's my recording of their id

The system doesnt KNOW to do it, it has to be told....It doesnt instinctively know to insert an iD, and if you don't hear any IDs at TOH, then assume it was a mistake because stations have to actually program them in A Daytimers automation is usually programmed for only when it's on air, for good reason..... no programming is usually done after hours, no local spots, ids or content..

    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.

    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!
