Does anyone know about this? When I was a taxi driver, the dispatcher said she was required by law to read out the cab company's call sign any time she said the time of day over the air. Is this required by law? -- HillbillyProfane ( talk) 21:15, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
May be worth exploring a variety of styles of TV 'idents' - as opposed to focusing on the America-centric imposing of station identification.

Can anyone give me the FCC Regulation that states that a station must announce their call sign every hour?
In retrospect I don't think the merge with television ident was properly handled, and possibly not even really a good idea. The Europe section of the merged article deals entirely with television and has almost nothing to say about two-way radio, broadcast radio, or really anything other than on-air identification of television stations. That section of the article needs to be greatly expanded. When you get right down to it, this article needs a tremendous amount of help and television ident may need to be broken out on its own again when the smoke clears. Anyone know enough about EU communications regulations? (will add to WP:RFE just to be on the safe side) Haikupoet 17:54, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Image:New bbc two idents.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The image Image:Bbconescotlandidentnew.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

Are there equivalent (i.e. more detailed than hourly) station IDs for 24-hour stations, and what times would they be? -- Random832 ( contribs) 13:18, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
I think it should be mentioned that the trend in idents up to the early 90s was ususally a dark (sometimes even black) background and a logo. Later, backgrounds in light colors started to prevail. That should be mentioned. I think the purpose why the backgrounds were dark initially is that white logos on a dark background appeared better on non-color TV sets than black/grey logos on a white background. 78.130.136.199 ( talk) 10:14, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
I am thinking of renaming the Europe section to United kingdom seeing as how all of the stations are based in the U.K. What does anyone else think? Hmyt ( talk) 15:48, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
I disagree with the statement that DOGs or watermarks are not popular in the US. It seems to me like just about every station uses them. TWCarlson ( talk) 15:11, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
