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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any info about it will be much appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks so much.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Chrissy<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#3366FF'>Chrissy Moog </span></b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#3366FF'>(Media Services Manager)<b><br>Sine FM 102.6 / Higher Rhythm Recording Studio / Circuit Records / The Music Week<br></b>Higher Rhythm Ltd, </span><span lang=EN-GB> </span><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#3366FF'>53 - 57 Netherhall Road, Doncaster, DN1 2PG / Tel - 01302 327769<br><a href="http://www.sinefm.com/"><span style='color:blue'>www.sinefm.com</span></a> <a href="http://www.higherrhythm.co.uk/"><span style='color:blue'>www.higherrhythm.co.uk</span></a> <a href="http://www.circuitrecords.co.uk/"><span style='color:blue'>www.circuitrecords.co.uk</span></a> <a href="http://www.themusicweek.co.uk/"><span style='color:blue'>www.themusicweek.co.uk</span></a></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#3366FF'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><i><span lang=EN-GB>Confidential and copyrighted:<b><br>The content of this email remains the intellectual property of the sender.
