[SBE] Question about Radio Station ID for HD services --

[Fluker, Steve (CXR-Orlando)]

Mike,

 

We ID the multicast stations the same way as our main channels:

 

WHTQ HD1 Orlando

WHTQ HD2 Orlando

 

Station ID's are just plugged into the programming of each channel.
They can be read live or be pre-produced and can be as boring or fancy
as we want them to be.

Subject: [SBE] Question about Radio Station ID for HD services --

 

Hello everyone !

 

I'm writing an article for a broadcast technical web site about station
identifications.

 

Sounds simple and boring.

 

Turns out it's not simple!

 

And it's sure not boring!!

 

Could I please learn how/if anyone's identifying their HD signals?

 

FCC 73.1201 (2) (b) says in part. . .

 

   "A radio station operating in DAB hybrid mode or extended hybrid mode
   shall identify its digital signal, including any free multicast audio
   programming streams, in a manner that appropriately alerts its
audience
   to the fact that it is listening to a digital audio broadcast. No
other
   insertion between the station's call letters and the community or
   communities specified in its license is permissible."

I'd love to incorporate, anonymously if you like, examples of "what's
happening" across the country.

 

Thanks !
