A useless bit of trivia: although WRXB's license indeed shows "Saint 
Petersburg Beach," there is no such city anymore. The city legally 
changed its name to "Saint Pete Beach" in 1994, supposedly to alleviate 
confusion with St. Petersburg to the east.

The FCC has no procedure to compel a station to file for a "change" of 
city of license when the COL changes its name or merges with another 
entity. Sometimes stations will file on their own accord - 870 East Las 
Vegas NV becoming 870 Whitney NV, for instance - and sometimes they 
won't, as witness WNCC 950 Barnesboro PA and WPCL 97.3 Spangler PA, 
which are licensed to communities that haven't legally existed since 
2000, when those boroughs merged to become Northern Cambria PA. WHPA 
93.5 was also licensed to Barnesboro, but it moved to a completely 
different community (Gallitzin) as part of a move-in to the bigger 
Altoona market, unrelated to the move to Northern Cambria.
