** OKLAHOMA. Call change at 1650 KYHN --- DX-midAMerica reports 1650 WFSM AR Ft.Smith [NewsTALK] ex: KHYN [sic]. Best wishes (Barry :-) Davies, Carlisle UK, Aug 20, MWCircle yg via DXLD)
1650 KYHN AR Fort Smith â Call change to WFSM (Aug. 14) (AM Switch, NRC DX News Aug 31 via DXLD)
I`m surprised no one points out that a W-call at the western edge of ARKANSAS (site and office in Sallisaw, OKLAHOMA) would be very unlikely, far west of the Mississippi.
Perhaps they believe the FCC which indeed now shows WFSM:

BUT, I monitored at 1059 UT August 26 and definitely heard a singing ID as ``Arklahoma`s Talk Station KYHN, Fort Smith``, and CBS News.
Possibly the intention was to change to KFSM, which still shows as an unused call on AM. But KFSM-TV is a call in Ft Smith, channel 18, CBS affiliate; different licensees:
