[BC] HD Radio -- Folks we have to get it right!

[Mike McCarthy]

Ever watch CNN HN lately.  They're segment recording a substantial portion 
of the live reads.  Only sections at the top of the cast are live.  Even 
then, some may be direct repeats of previous hours if the news is not 
breaking. I've seen several elements later in the casts which are COMPLETE 
DIRECT repeats of prior hours/reads.  I suspect, CNN is doing the same 
during the overnight hours except for breaking news/targeted updates.

I suspect that the WC is also doing some of that during certain hours as 
well.  Given their low TSW format, I would not be surprised to see this 
during certain forecast segments which don't contain live radar shots or 
warning information.
