I don’t hear Legal and proper ID’s anymore.
Aren’t the Legal ID’s “call letters” and “city?”
What gives?

I don't think thats completely true. How does a broadcaster not know about proper station ID? It's supposedly a requirement by the FCC of all licensed broadcasters. I have yet to hear a station here in Houston not insert a legal ID at the TOH.

Call letters and optional inserts and City of License.
In the middle can be things like channel for FMs, ownership and network.
WZZZ, Shelby Broadcasting Company, Lynchburg is legal.
"The transmitting station may insert
between its call letters and its community
of license the following information:
the frequency of the transmitting
station, the channel number of the
transmitting station, the name of the
licensee of the transmitting station
and the licensee providing the programming,
and/or the name of the network
of either station."
FCC, 73.1201
I'm sure Mr. Unregistered Guest has been listening to stations that bury the legal as a "fly-by" between spots in the closest stopset before the hour, and obviously it has worked because he doesn't hear the IDs.
Community, David, not city of license......
