Hi all, this is my first post, and was wondering, has anybody noticed the mistake in the star 1013 i d on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday nights during the commercial free hour of music that Lisa Foxx makes when she mistakenly says, k i o i Oakland, when the city of license is San Francisco? Is there any way somebody could let her know she is making a mistake in the i d of the station, because the on air people aren't supposed to take the word of an average listener as to what is and isn't a mistake, but I even tried writing her in March, to let her know about the mistake, that I first noticed on January twenty-seventh, and last I checked, she's still making the mistake, so, just was wondering if somebody who works with her could contact her and let her know about this, because at the time I wrote her, at the address she gave on the radio, I didn't know that on air people weren't supposed to take the word of listeners as to mistakes, and I've been listening to the 101.3 frequency as a devoted radio listener since 1973, and if for some technicality, this isn't a mistake, since all other i d's on the station say, k i o i San Francisco, please let me know as an avid radio listener and d x er, and thanks in advance very much.

has anybody noticed this mistake?

I think I've read that she's a Bay Area native, so it's odd she makes that mistake. But the way to contact her would no doubt be through Clear Channel in Los Angeles, from whence she voice tracks her Star 101.3 show.
After reading this topic on the board about the station ID.....I felt nothing but outraged. I can't believe whether this announcer was voicetracked or live, can make such an insensitive ID that has come across the people's airwaves. I never felt so offended in my life. All I felt was we were all progressing backwards.
When this gets to the LA Program Director...... we shall all demand an apology. Since all of us on here have no lives, we need to be more vigilante and continue to scan the airwaves at the top of the hour in harmony and hope what came over the Bay area airwaves this afternoon....never happens again.
Once we can prevents this from ever happening....we can now let the healing begin.

Starbucks, seriously, try the decaf.

Outraged about a station ID mistake? This is why a lot of stations don't give out their phone numbers except for contests. They don't want to deal with this kind of BS. And believe me, there are listeners out there who get their panties in a wad over the most bizarre things. I remember when I worked in TV and got a call late one night from a woman who was "disappointed" in us because we ran "Citizen Kane" in black and white. Well, it was a b/w film. She insisted it was a color film. Finally, I told her that I'd see to it that it never happened again.
What difference does it make to you if KIOI ID's as SF or Oakland or Tiburon? We know they're licensed to SF and there is no way KIOI would be confused with any other station should there be an interference issue (the reason why IDs were required in the first place).
It's an arcane rule from a time gone by, and it matters to few; of all the FCC's myriad rules, it's one that makes zero difference in 2010.
A recent study I did found that about 0.0000382% of Americans polled knew the rule exists, and even fewer cared whether or not a station even IDed itself.
I'm sure many of us know why the rule was originally enacted. That original reason hardly exists today.

Why yes, I did make up the number in my previous post. Thanks for asking.

It's been noted in the 723 other threads on TOH IDs, the rule hardly mattered a half-century ago. A number of us dredged up memories of stations from the 50s and 60s that flouted the rule for years without apparent sanction by the FCC. And having some jock say "KIOI, Oakland" isn't flouting the rule, it's just a mistake. Chances are, the FCC hasn't monitored this for decades...maybe not ever.
And yes, I made up that number, too.
Side bet: if Lisa Foxx said "KIOI Oakland" while her program was being simulcast on live television, and she was topless ... THEN the FCC would get involved.

My thoughts exactly, Starbucks. What a travesty.

More likely, it would be a topless Don Bleu saying "KIOI, Oakland" while being simulcast on KOFY-TV, and nobody (including the FCC) would care.
