Something to do with the local station switching from the temporary local broadcast (i.e. commercials) back to the national Loveline feed.

EDIT: Dammit, Kevin, did you have to post half a second before I did?

what it is, is a automation tone.

there's a box at your affiliate that detects the tones (some audible, some arent) and triggers the computer, cart machine, or cd player to stop playing commercials and get back to loveline.

that's all.

trust me. i know. i work in radio.
