   I've been ranting about that as well, and I'm pleased to   
   repost a note I wrote two years ago that addresses this.

   It only took eight years, but now we've got this:   
      
   [NY Times]   
      
   CBS Radio Reminds D.J.'s to Identify Songs:   
     'When You Play It, Say It' [a]   
      
   It would seem one of the basic tasks of any disk jockey: tell   
   listeners the name of the song they just heard. But last week   
   the head of a major radio company felt compelled to instruct   
   its programmers to start identifying more of the songs played   
   on the air, by title and artist name.   
      
   "It just makes sense to do it," said Dan Mason, the president   
   and chief executive of CBS Radio, which owns 130 stations in   
   the United States.
