[rfu-automation] Re: Underwriting plus station ID?

[Raymond Morales]

I would need the "NFCB Guide to Underwriting" to be 100 
percent confident that it is ok.

However, I do not see a problem with underwriting being at 
the hour w/ the station ID, because some community radio 
stations actually have the station IDs and the underwriting 
w/in 5 min of the hour. I do not see a difference between 
having them sequentially aired versus within the same 5 
minute time span.
