Broadcasting Q: Announcing The Time on The Radio
I've noticed it for about ten years, maybe mo
The announcer/other on-air personality more often than not tells the wrong time! Typically the wrong hour. Happpens when either Standard or Daylight Saving is in effect. "Mostly clear skies, twenty five degrees at 12 minutes past 5"(it's 6:12 as I'm typing this). What KIND OF CLOCK do most AM/FM radio stations have on their wall, if any nowadays? |

Broadcasting Q: Announcing The Time on The Radio
"Theck-Mama" the village idiot double-posted in message
... I've noticed it for about ten years, maybe mo But you've boasted that you don't know what "ten" means, li'l buddy. And you don't need to double-post, unless you're admitting that you're double-retarded. The announcer/other on-air personality more often than not tells the wrong time! Typically the wrong hour. Happpens when either Standard or Daylight Saving is in effect. "Mostly clear skies, twenty five degrees at 12 minutes past 5"(it's 6:12 as I'm typing this) Oh, look, the dumb-**** dropped a fresh word-salad turd about daylight saving time. How cute! And what a predictable troll ... What KIND OF CLOCK do most AM/FM radio stations have on their wall, if any nowadays? It probably just needs to have the video calibrated and the tire pressure adjusted several times per day. HTH, LB. FCKWAFA! LKDSAIH. |

Are you sure you're listening to a local station, or at least one in the same time zone? I'm in the Eastern time zone but the station that I listen to most of the time when I just want to hear music and I don't care what kind, is on Central time, so it's an hour earlier there than here. When they announce the time, I just look at my watch. -- For a good time, call http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com |

... Why don't you just offer some insight to the topic? Apparently, you're the only one who gives a **** about your own stupity, which was the topic of your original post. Of course, it was also a troll about daylight saving time, but like so much of your pathetic life, that was a failure. By the way it's a tablet - I don't have teensy Twitter fingers like someone I know, plus I have disabled all automatic features under keyboard settings Nobody gives a **** about that either, li'l buddy. So sad. I guess you'll just gave to go eat worms. |
