[edit] Work of the US government
This seems to be modified from a work of the US government. Since the original work was created by the US government it was in the public domain, so we can use it under the GFDL in wikipedia. Thue | talk 19:57, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Why 4-letter names?
If someone could add some information about why all US radio stations seem to have 4-letter names beginning with either K or W that might be quite useful. --Lost tourist 09:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

- As far as I can see there is no reason given in the call sign article as to why the radio stations are compelled to use these 4-letter names. It cannot just be just the tradition in a place like the USA. Presumably there is a law preventing a station calling itself anything it wanted, eg Jazz-FM, Capital Gold or Radio London, as they can in most other countries. JMcC 18:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
