Perhaps this is old news, but was listening to KFI this morning and noticed all the imaging now says "More Stimulating Talk" instead of "More Stimulating Talk Radio".
Anyone else noticed this tweak?

Radio is such a thing of the past. My grandparents used to listen to Dodger games on the radio. We're so much more sophisticated than that now.
I remember my grandmother use to listen to the "wireless".
And yet Pandora markets itself as radio. That doesn't seem to bother their users.
Users of audio services other than pure on-demand ones (Slacker, etc) in their vast majority, refer to sound without pictures as "radio".
The differentiate sources (FM, smartphone, etc) but think of FMs that also stream to be the same thing... they are not really concerned about the transmission system and are focused on being able to listen on the devices they mostly use which are car radios and smartphones.
As you say, it does not bother them at all... most have probably not spent even a moment of time considering the differences.
The Brits still refer to radio as "wireless" and I still call my refrigerator "the icebox". Means nothing.

Don't FCC regulations require stations to announce the frequency and call sign or is it just the call sign?

Call letters and community of license are the only required data in the hourly station ID.
