About Testing Satellite Feeds: If your station airs either the FIRST or SECOND feed on Saturday, please note that SRVS06 Right is an "occasional use" channel by ABC satellite services and there may or may not be programming on the channel at any given time during the day. The best way for your station to confirm it is receiving the proper audio is to call ABC's Master Control and ask the Operator-On-Duty if there is any audio on the channel. If the channel is silent, you can ask the Operator to put a tone on the channel to confirm that you are getting the correct channel. ABC Control is staffed 24x7 and can be reached at 212-456-5388. During regular business hours the first call should be to their Tech Services Department at 212-456-5000, option 4. If your station airs the THIRD feed, it is provided through Radio America and has programming on it 24/7. http://www.radioamerica.org/programs.htm
