A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

I was talking to a deer hunter yesterday...he said fox have such a good sense of smell that fox traps (which is cruel, I know, he even said this) must be boiled then encased in wax to kill any stray scents...they have EXTREMELY good smell compared to any other animal...also did you know deer and turkey will often hang out together since Turkey have better eyesight but lousy smell, wheras deer have an excellent sense of smell?

@βrian: Regulation of US radio spectrum allocation is a matter for federal officials, a relatively rare circumstance here, where the states tend (with exceptions, of course) to establish and enforce laws. Central coast-to-coast governance demands relatively rigid rules, without which station ID and other obligations would be handled chaotically, if at all.

It's the notion the radio content is necessarily delivered in small discrete packets that baffles me. This ain't Morse code.

Well, it is delivered in small discrete packets. They're usually called ads or spots, WFMU being the exception to the rule.

@Brendan: Broadcasting that would be illegal, with a severe fine. The topic came up a few times on playlists

Yeah, how can you test an emergency broadcast system absent a real emergency?

Along these lines, I was wondering recently if one could call 911 (a US phone number for reporting an emergency, akin to UK's 999, I think) to ask, "Quick! I've forgotten the number to reach the police for non-emergencies! Do you have it?!"

Ike:

Classical stations interpret the station ID rules as allowing them to finish out playing a very long piece beyond 5 min. after the top of the hour, as long as the announcer says the ID ASAP *after* the long piece ends. However FMU may be operating w/an extra abundance of caution given that the FCC is often less than 100% clear about... well, anything.
  11:54am
Listener Robert:

It's the "continuous programming" exception. Everybody agrees it's OK for covering a news event. Something planned, like playing a record, I could see where they say that's stretching the point.
