        I'm going to go way out on a limb here and
        suggest that the wheel has already been 
        invented. In Europe, RDS has been
        the answer that works - radios tune to
        the source of information.  

        Of course, "competition" in US radio
        has long made this sort of "tune to the
        information" unusable. 

        Maybe it's time to review?
