I attended a seminar where an AI told the story of he citing a
station for doing the Legal ID at :20 or so past the hour. He
received a letter from the station's programming consultant
explaining that an Image Liner ran near :00 followed by a
Hot/Uptempo song then followed by spoken image over
another song and so on. According to the consultant, this
constituted an event which could not be interrupted by a
Legal ID.

The AI's response was that the Legal ID runs at the TOH
or the station fails the inspection. Guess who prevailed?
