In the U.S., stations are supposed to ID with their callsign and location at the top of the hour.
Last night between 12:55 AM and 1:05 AM CST local time (12-20-2005 0655-0705 UTC), I was listening to a talk station 920 kHZ. The "Radio America, Voice of the Nation" slogan was played (a network to which the station is affiliated), some stupid national advertisements, and "USA Radio News", but I did not hear ANY local ID. And this station was coming in strong, bearing SW from my location outside of Duluth, Minnesota, USA, despite QRM from closer stations (which could be reduced by turning down the RF Gain). I tried again two hours later at the top of the hour, within the same 10 or 12 minute window, but no ID...in fact, I think they played the same commercials! If anybody knows of a station on 920 affiliated with Radio America ( http://www.radioamerica.org ) and that carries USA Radio News ( http://www.usaradio.com ), your help would be greatly appreciated. No affiliate list on either site.
