The call letters have been rot13'd to protect the naive. Last night I was watching the end of a late movie on station PXPB. Over the last shot they played two loud voice-over advertisements. They went something like this: * Be sure to watch PXPB tomorrow night at 8 when we will have... * NOW STAY TUNED as PXPB joins CBS News Nightwatch in progress! After the movie credits they went on with: * A commercial telling how great PXPB News was * A list of PXPB's transmitter locations * Station identification, including the words "24 HOURS A DAY" prominently written, and "PXPB - 24 hours a day, every day" spoken. Which was immediately followed by THIS voice-over: * PXPB is now shutting down until 5:50 am for maintenance.
