Cloud 95 Legal ID

O

oldiesfan6479

Congrats to Bobby and my engineer buddy ;) for finally making the
Cloud legal ID legal, as this morning I heard "KMXZ-FM Tucson."

An HD ID was voiced immediately after, and as I was in shock from
finally hearing the "-FM" suffix, I'm not sure exactly what was said,
however I think it was "KMXZ HD Tucson." This begs the question--
shouldn't it have been "HD1"? Or is there no HD2 which may make
"HD" (sans suffix) legitimate?

And I-CRAP is the greatest thing since sliced bread...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. Void where prohibited. No other insertion between the station's call letters and the community or communities specified in its license is permissible...plus tax and your recappable tire...and no animals were harmed in this rulemaking."

Clear as mud, isn't it? Even our board's legal ID guru--Mr. Fybush--thinks so,
from what he's posted in other threads.
 
That's right, for DAB, only one sort of insertion is permissable...
