Poppy crap. 95% of the population can’t tell you were King County or Ballard High school are. Go to the link and there is not even a mention that Kiro7 is in Seattle or Washington for that matter. I did finally find that it was in Western Washington.
If you live there great then you get it. Otherwise it is nothing but frustration when a story like this leaves the area where the story was written.
What is a legal ID and when must I run one? Are the requirements the same for radio and television? How do I run a legal ID on my booster/translator?
Legal ID
The Legal ID lets the audience know which broadcast station they’re tuned into. Although your station’s jingles play into and out of every stop set or between each song, the public has a right to know the information that more accurately identifies the station. This will allow the public to look up information on the broadcast station that is supposed to be serving them.
Television
The Federal Communications Commission requires that all television stations must run a notice to the general public throughout the day that properly identifies the station the viewers are watching. Rules for this can be found in the FCC’s rules, namely in 47 CFR Part 73.1201.
A legal Identification must be run once each hour of broadcasting.
It must be run as close to the top of the hour as possible.
It may be run either as a break in the programming as a separate advertisement
It may be a graphic that is laid over or placed on the screen in conjunction with the programming.
It may be sponsored (run with an advertisement or a promotion)
It must include (1) the station’s call letters, (2) the channel number, (3) the city of license.

Yet This TV station’s website does not Identify the City. They should fix the law so that it does.
Dats racis.
My two sons went to Ballard .... in Louisville
Good school
Good question. Of course it doesn't excuse him, but what on earth was she thinking?
I keep talking to my 20- and 18-year-old daughters about what could happen, and they act like I'm an old fool.
I live in southern Indiana...greater Louisville. We moved here from Cincy in 1987. We lived right down the street from the “other” Ballard High School, when we first moved to the ‘ville.
I don’t want to sound flip about this but I guess the perpetrator was asserting his gender Anti-neutrality.
Been to Cincy many times. Nice town.
When I moved from NJ to Louisville in 1968 I had to drive US 42 from Cincy to the ‘ville as I-71 was not finished then.
Fond memories.
Alas, the hunt for the mythical privileged white frat boy continues.
Kids these days are too trusting.
a bathroom for boys and girls. what could go wrong?
I think she was in the bathroom when he entered
oops! maybe i should actually read before replying. nah!
A lot of the legacy media seems not to have figured out, on any story of significant interest, that most of their readers will be online and out of town.
My other pet peeve is the failure of so many people, when posting online, to date the material. Outdated and sometimes already-refuted information keeps resurfacing.
Why?
That takes all the fun out of it.
..... my 20- and 18-year-old daughters .... they act like I’m an old fool.
****************************************************
I will bet you are an old fool. (no offense meant)
And I am totally certain that they are two young idiots.
Let’s just pray that they safely grow out of that idiot stage.
Imagine what high school kids will do?
Because she'd be racist if she didn't.
Poppy crap right back at you. You were linked to a story, not the main page of the site. Had you gone to their home page it would have been pretty friggin obvious you were on a Seattle TV station website. All in all they did a decent job reporting but you are getting your panties in a wad because you were interested in a detail that was completely obvious to 99.99% of their audience.
