Broadcasting Q? Announcing The Time On The Radio

I used to think that radio stations had clocks that displayed only the minutes, and not the particular hour, explaining why the time they announced was periodically one hour off, in either direction!
One notorious announcer on the BBC gave rise to what was called the
"Jack De Manio clock" in the studio he used. No hands, no numbers, no
monitor, but if you looked at it, you would read "Twenty five to eight"
That cured him, and it would be trivial to program an Arduino or
Raepberry Pi and a small monitor.
