The system doesnt KNOW to do it, it has to be told....It doesnt instinctively know to insert an iD, and if you don't hear any IDs at TOH, then assume it was a mistake because stations have to actually program them in A Daytimers automation is usually programmed for only when it's on air, for good reason..... no programming is usually done after hours, no local spots, ids or content..
