Re: [IRCA] Call letter change
Thanks Scott. It is hard to remember them all. I forgot KMA-960, WKY-930k,
KFH-1330, WGH-1310 and, most unforgivably, WGR-550. I'm sure there were
others as well.

Other way around - KSD radio kept the 3-letter calls when radio and TV
split. TV became KSDK, and still has those calls. What's now KTRS was
KUSA for a few years under Gannett. The KSD calls survive on FM 93.7,
now owned by Clear Channel.
As for cities with multiple 3-letter calls, I think Seattle may actually
have been the champion: KVI, KXA, KJR, KTW, KOL, plus KMO in Tacoma, not
to mention KGY down in Olympia. KVI, KJR and KGY survive, and there's
KKOL and KKMO. (What was KXA is now KTTH; KTW is now KKDZ.)
The canonical list of three-letter calls is here:
