Immediately below is an obscure (possibly apocryphal) nugget
of  lore for you WLW fans out there: "WLW did something similar
during WWII,  left the  transmitter on with a mike open and a clock
ticking (Powell  E. Way, ibid.)"

One of the most popular networks in Cuba  is "Radio Relo"    which is a one 
second "tick" for 59 second of each minute and then on the "O"  second mark the 
ce  "rr"  this mis constantly runing behind the spoken  24 hour newscasts.
 
Also remember the ealy days of TV after running a test pattern for two  hours 
to get the transmitter all warmed up, many time they would show a plain  
clock with recorded music the last hour before air time.  Later on some ran  
random slides with music.  I am amazed at the number of folks that watch  the 
weather channel or Bloomberg  all day at their offices.
