I have recently traveled to the Philippines and noticed that their radio stations always give the time of day, e.g., "Check your time. It is (insert current time)." A majority of US radio stations don't give the time of day. It gives me the impression that the US is growing backwards, making the Philippines seem more advanced. The US radio stations that do give the time of day are very few. Variety 106.5 KBVA in Belle Vista, Arkansas, is one of the few radio stations that give the time of day, particularly every hour on the hour. The US radio stations that are not giving the time of day need to take a lesson from the Philippine radio stations and start giving the time of day.
