An announcer is an employee who appears before the microphone or
camera to introduce programs, read news announcements, present
commercial messages, give station identification and time signals, and
present other similar routine on-the-air material. In small stations, an
announcer may, in addition to these duties, operate the studio control
board, give cues to the control room for switching programs, make
recordings, make the necessary preparations for the day's programs, play
records, or write advertising, promotional or similar type copy. An
employee who is primarily engaged in the above described activities and
in activities which are an integral part thereof will be considered to
be employed as an announcer within the meaning of the exemption in
section 13(b)(9).
