[BC] Any other staticides?

Yeah, that would have done it.  That stunt would send all automated stations
on to the next news break, which depending on the station, probably broke
the station away from the network to either local spots, then a network
rejoin if they took the news.  All and all there were a lot of pissed off
stations which could have numbered in the hundreds.  If there it was a
totally automated station, they could have been out of sync for up to
several hours until their automation broken away from the network for good
and started playing local content.  The beep doop decoders though were
getting the tones at a -10dB, worked down to a -45dB.

AHHH Mutual...

Now it can be told...

Mutual used to have in band network break signalling  (De doop).

A friend of mine who worked the overnight TX shift recorded the tones that
ran
just before the national news - then called a talk show and played them over
his voice while talking on their air.

I understand it caused quite a *stir*.
