The 1920s Radio Network is returning to our local avail option for affiliate stations that we used years ago. What this means is your station now has two local avails, one 20 seconds before the hour, and the other 20 seconds before the bottom of the hour. The top of hour avail is 18 seconds while the bottom of the hour is 2 minutes 15 seconds. The top of hour avail has two subaudible tones at 25 hz before and after the break. The bottom of hour has two 35 hz tones. These tones can activate your tone decoder to allow your automation system to perform a specific function. Additionally we use three 1 khz tone bursts at the top of hour followed by a longer 1 khz tone. This is to alert the station personnel that the break is coming up should the station not be using automation. The bottom of hour break has just one tone burst to differentiate from the top of hour. Please see the break cue structures below for details

Attention Affiliate Stations:

Note: The top of hour avail appears on all hours, but the bottom of hour is not used during syndicated program hours, or Old Time Radio hours, due to the nature of the floating breaks
