You're tuned to K-what?

[gridlockjoe]

A few years ago, when North Texas State University became the University of North Texas, we in the media were joking that the university's radio station, KNTU, would have to change its call sign to KUNT.

That didn't happen, for obvious reasons.

Well, now a TV station in Hawaii has requested and received that call sign.

The station's owners have apologized and promised to change the call sign as soon as possible.

They also received the call sign KWTF for another station...

I'm showing my age when I can remember other call letters that couldn't be assigned, such as KUSA and WUSA.

... is the Christian Easy Listening station KLTY, whose initials are never, ever made into a word in any way. At least not by their target audience.
