In the late 60's -70's, WIOO, a daytimer  in Carlisle, PA would run a sign off that would encourage people to stay tuned
for more of you favorite music on WCFL, then join WIOO tomorrow morning for more of the best hits. (or something along those
lines. I have it on tape somewhere) I don't remember if they timed it for spot breaks or not.
