Re: Radio days

I have RDS/Traffic Announcements on all the time because I drive a lot. It's not that unusual for the announcement to not be properly timed to match the signal broadcast to tell your radio to tune to it. From experience, I'd say it's purely cock-ups and timing errors on the part of the studio. The BBC went through a phase a few years ago where the Travel Announcements always seemed to start before the RDS TA signal was sent and then run on for a minute or two afterwards so you often missed the first part of the TA which would be the major roads. Nowadays, they seem to get it mainly right, but not all the time.
