Why must Sonos HD radio have to interrupt (at very high volume) your HD Radio Stream and obnoxiously tell you what station you were listening to? This is the MAIN reason I cancelled the service.

The FCC requires radio stations to identify themselves throughout the broadcast day.

But..this isn't broadcast using radio frequencies governed by the FCC, but rather a stream of information packets from a server. Plus ..it's a premium, paid for service like cable TV.
