[cma-l] RDS traffic update ruling

[chrissymoog]

Hi there

 

Does anyone know if there is an official ruling on playing out RDS
traffic updates? We received an email from one of our listeners about a
commercial radio station using RDS. Apparently, his car radio switches
to their station (his TA button is on)  but there was no traffic news
being played out , only music and sometimes the news. It also stays on
for quite a while (it doesn't switch back), more than 10 minutes.
Obviously, we advised him to switch the TA on his radio off if he
doesn't want his listening experience to be ruined, but I am just
curious as to what the rulings (if there are at all) on this.

 

Any info about it will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks so much.

 

Chrissy
