Back in 1964 I visited WBZ 1030 in Boston and they had the
announcer who did everything except turn the microphone on
and off. There was an engineer who did that. The person
giving the tour said they just couldn't convince the union to
give up having the engineer doing everything.
Guess it was the same thing as requiring fireman on a diesel
locomotive.
