Hello all, Thanks for all of the hard work on your shows, keeping them chugging along and high quality in what can politely be called...weird times. Also, thanks again for all of the pitching you did during our spring pledge drive, and for plugging Live Oak and playing the music that will be on our stages in June. I’ve heard a lot of people doing that lately. I just wanted to throw out a few quick reminders: *The legal ID is always, and only: "KCBX HD1 San Luis Obispo, KNBX HD1 San Ardo and KSBX Santa Barbara." You can say other things on either side of that, but those words have to be read just like that. No modifiers. No "KCBX HD1 *in* San Luis Obispo" etc. It has to be said that way at the top of each hour. Use the other approved IDs for other times and only do the legal at the top of the hour. * Address one person. You are there with them. Don't say, "Good evening everybody" or "Welcome everybody out there on the Central Coast" etc. Address one person. "Good Evening, you are tuned to KCBX." "I have a great song up next for you." etc. *No directional language. You are where they are. You are with them. No, " *Down* in Santa Barbara" or "*Up* in Paso" etc. For instance, try "There is a great show at SoHo in Santa Barbara" or "I heard from Juan in Atascadero tonight," etc. I've heard all of these things lately from a few DJs so I thought it was time for a reminder. Thanks, Neal

Such valuable pointers, Neal, thanks!
