"Radio Hour Definition"(PDF)
A "Radio Hour" begins and ends with the midnight Station Identification announcement. The Station Identification announcement begins at midnight and ends when the announcement is complete (about in ten (10) seconds). The "Radio Hour" for content is therefore about 59 minutes 50 seconds.

Extended content can be created and performed, but transmission of continuous content will be interrupted during Station Identification.
