requires digital television stations to follow the same rules for 
station identification as analog television stations. 47 CFR 73.1201 
(a) requires licensees to make broadcast station identification 
announcements at the beginning and ending of each time of operation, 
and hourly, as close to the hour as feasible, at a natural break in 
program offerings. Television and Class A television broadcast stations 
may make these announcements visually or aurally. 47 CFR 73.1201 (b) 
requires the licensees' station identification to consist of the 
station's call letters immediately followed by the community or 
communities specified in its license as the station's location. The 
name of the licensee, the station's frequency, the station's channel 
number, and/or the station's network affiliation may be inserted 
between the call letters and station location. DTV stations choosing to 
include the station's channel number in the station identification must 
use the station's major channel number and may distinguish multicast 
program streams.
