With no WHSQ ID, at least not online.

I heard the station ID over-the-air: WHSQ and WCBS-HD2 New York.

Online, there was a minute of dead air, then the ESPN Radio feed.

They did have a WCBS legal ID at midnight ET as the final bars of John Lennon’s Imagine faded away. Around a minute of silence followed, then a crash JIP with the sports format.

Edit to add: Didn’t hear any WHSQ ID.

Sounds to me that however the stream is fed, they did not bother to include the unnecessary legal ID.

So, do we all finally have closure after 39 pages and 761 posts?
 
While 880 and 98.7 are simulcasting, the former is a few seconds ahead.
WCBS FM HD2 is also simulcasting the ESPN programming.

Doesn't a station have to ID with the new calls once they take effect? Every call change I've ever heard had to do so, even if the old calls were signed off a minute earlier.

Having gone through this a few times in recent years, you can file for a change of call letters with the FCC and specify an effective date in the future. I think there is some "give" in terms of what time on that date you begin using them.

I planned on listening to Audacy's stream but I switched to a pirated 880 stream to guarantee I wouldn't miss the switchover. When 106.7 in Atlanta switched to K-Love, the 106.7 stream didn't carry over with the switch.

I've never heard of a rule so specific as to immediately require an ID with the new calls. I think that doing the new call ID in the next legal ID "space" is all that is needed to be incompliance.

It's been a while since I did a call change as a general manager, but I don't recall anything but an effective date, not hour. I'm sure that a station might do the transition during the day, not at exactly at midnight, and nobody at the FCC would be annoyed.

No comment. Just thought I'd defy your menacing "Don't even THINK about quoting this post" warning to see what happens next.

The Wikipedia page of what is now WHSQ has been updated.

Ah, what a relief. I was very concerned that Wikipedia would not be on top of this and do an instant correction...

Yes, and now we can get back to our deep concern about a Top 40 song from the 60's that had a potentially offensive word in it...

"Had to" was probably a poor choice of words. It's just that the ones I have heard over the years have made a production of dumping the old and introducing the new.
