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! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
