For WRAL, you have to submit a letter on company or org. letterhead and it takes a week to approve and get your code to post your closing.

as far as the others, I dunno...

I was going to say how stupid it is to allow people to make direct posts,
but then I thought of wiki and comments pages and so forth. I suppose the
allure here was that they were piping this stuff directly to their
newscast.

So how does any such form of public posting normally function? Where's
the editor/moderator?

In response to Mark Turner's message(s):
Have y'all seen the fake closing announcements that ran on News 14
Carolina's cable channel? Apparently, their website didn't use any
authentication and some bored students had some fun with it.
