Thanks for the patch, Luigino!  This is a fairly common issue in many 
jurisdictions; in the US for example, it’s a requirement that any program that 
is sponsored or otherwise paid for by a commercial entity be identified as such 
either before or after it’s aired (many programmers choose to do both).

However, especially given the diversity of such rules out there, I think that 
something like this would be better implemented is the system that generates 
the log schedule —i.e. the traffic or music scheduler system — rather than in 
the system that merely executes that schedule.  Accordingly, I don’t think it 
would make sense to include this in the stock Rivendell distribution.

Cheers!
