CapRadio and Stockton/Modesto

[beej65]

Okay. That's interesting. I'll ask. I'm off today, but I'll get an answer by the end of the week.

Were you listening over the air or on a smart speaker or app?

Over the air.

Just for comparison - the 6:59am legal ID on KUOP: "From Sacramento State, this is listener-supported CapRadio... 91.3 KUOP Stockton-Modesto, on your smart speaker and the Cap Radio app." May not be verbatim... but does not mention sister stations.

So, I was today years old when I learned this about the radio station where I've worked for three years:

On KUOP and KKTO, we do have market-specific legal IDs. They are used when there's an underwriting announcement specific to either Stockton/Modesto or Tahoe/Reno. They are recorded in advanced and the server knows when and where to play them.

Thanks for asking. It's not something that comes up in my workflow, and I'm happy to know it now.

Well I get in Sacramento we get the main feed where 90.9 FM and 88.9 FM mentions all the other frequencies but mainly use the flagship call letters like KXPR and KXJZ Sacramento. 90.9 and 88.9 FM covers Sacramento, Yolo, Yuba, Sutter, Western parts of El Dorado and Placer counties and Eastern half of Solano County.

I'd meant to mention this last week. Happened to be awake way earlier than normal on Wednesday (6/14) and paid attention to the 5:59 am Legal ID. It mentioned KXJZ, KKTO and KQNC, but not KUOP. As mentioned up-thread, I've heard similar at 7:59 and 8:59. I pretty sure I heard one or two abridged legals in PM drive last week, maybe Wed or Thurs. (Had a medical procedure last week which screwed with my normal sleep pattern.)

BTW, what is "today years old?" That's a new one on this old New Yorker.

Likely an hour in which KUOP had its own Stockton-Modesto underwriting message and the other three signals could roll with the same one.

I'm probably too old to be using it. It's largely a social media thing---used in place of "Today I learned....". From what I see online, first known usage was 2015.

I clearly need to write my age.
