    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).
