[edit] Callsign

The complete call sign for WLKY is all four letters. In FCC-nomenclature, the first character is a quick indication of the station's location within the United States. K- for those stations west of the Mississippi River and W- for those east. Quite unintuitive, I am sure ;-). The standard for the broadcast infobox is to have all four letters of the callsign listed, even if only 2 or three of the letters are used. As an example, another Louisville, Kentucky stations uses all four letters, WHAS with a meaning of "We Have A Signal." Cute, huh? Yet, WAVE doesn't seem to have any meaning at all. Just thought I'd explain why I listed all four characters. Roby Wayne ^{Talk • Hist} 20:43, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Found one unreliable source stating that WAVE is from "Radio WAVE".....not sure. -Roby Wayne ^{Talk • Hist} 07:12, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
