The announcer/other on-air personality more often than not tells the wrong time! Typically the wrong hour. Happpens when either Standard or Daylight Saving is in effect.

"Mostly clear skies, twenty five degrees at 12 minutes past 5"(it's 6:12 as I'm typing this).

What KIND OF CLOCK do most AM/FM radio stations have on their wall, if any nowadays?

What really ****s me off is when posters more often than not put an
extra letter in a word. Typically an extra p in 'happens'. Occurs either
in English (USA), English (UK/AUS/NZ/etc).

What kind of spell-checker do they have on their computer, if any nowadays ?
