Station ID Menu

The Station ID Menu provides fields for entering Program Service (PS) and Radio Text (RT) information as well as the
Program Information (PI) Code.
Typically, the PS field – an 8-character static display – contains the call letters of the station – for example. WOMN-FM.
However, it is possible to program the PS field in such a way that it can provide a bit more information. Here are some ways to
creatively use the PS field:
By splitting text with the "/" symbol, each text will alternate for 3 seconds. (WOMN-FM/88.5 FM/NOW WITH/OMNIA.9)
or (WOMN-FM/TODAYS/HOTTEST/HITS)
To change the amount of time the text is displayed, put the desired time in front of the text in seconds (1.5s:WOMN-
FM/3.0s:88.5 FM/1.5s:OMNIA.9) . In this example, "WOMN-FM" will be displayed for 1.5 seconds, "88.5 FM" will be
displayed for 3 seconds, and "OMNIA.9" will appear for 1.5 seconds.
The RT source field provides a 64-character free-form message. It can be static to provide a station slogan, or dynamic and in
sync with station programming to provide song titles and artist information. Dynamic updating is accomplished via the HTTP
automation interface.
