+ /* From the crc-mmbtools google groups, 2019-07-11, L. Cornell:
+ *
+ * Long ago, there was a defined use for the New flag - it was intended
+ * to indicate whether the announcement was new or was a repeated
+ * announcement. But the problem is that it doesn't really help
+ * receivers because they might tune to the ensemble at any time, and
+ * might tune to a service that may be interrupted at any time. So
+ * some years ago it was decided that the New flag would not longer be
+ * used in transmissions. The setting was fixed to be 1 because some
+ * receivers would have never switched to the announcement if the flag
+ * was set to 0.
