Re: [IRCA] The WJZ calls return to radio



It's the fact they say "WJZ-AM" Baltimore.

AM is referred to as the "standard broadcast band" or something I think and
there is and never has been a -AM suffix. There IS a -FM Suffix.

Yeha, I KNOW I'm a nitpick about this... call it an obsession if you will,
lol

TECHNICALLY, an FCC inspector COULD issue them a Notice of Violation for
improperly IDing... I've heard of inspectors having an especially bad day
and just looking for any small thing to nail the station for.
