If I recall correctly, radio's changed shortly after Crandall canyon incident where Life Flight gave the full name over the air of a patient.
I would not remember this so well, but LF dispatch was relaying info to the inbound HELO's about exact details of the incident.
Then moments later a local news station repeated almost word for word what was just said on LF dispatch channel.

I wondered how they got away with doing this. Well Life Flight is a private organization and the scanner law's probably are much different than law or EMS.
