The disclaimer that used to precede Talk shows?
The one that said in effect "The views expressed by the host are not necessarily the views of the staff, management or advertisers of WXXX" or something like that...

Yeah, I've heard them too. They're still around here and there.

I've only heard them before and after brokered programs.

I can't recall the last time I heard one of those. I've noticed that both the left and right talk stations where I live have been going in the opposite direction - they encourage listeners to think of them as political causes rather than businesses, presumably believing that this will increase listening time and/or advertiser patronage.

It's sort of amusing, since KSFO regularly attacks KGO, the most popular station around here, without ever bothering to mention that the two stations are not only owned by the same company, they're both programmed by the same guy. And of course our lib talk station is owned by CC, which owns probably 500 or so right wing talk stations.

'Loveline' uses that disclaimer.
