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.

I have a friend who at one point in his life was a DJ. He worked for a San Fransisco station called KOME. He was later fired and black listed by the FCC for this remark, "Don't touch that dial, there's KOME on it!" :-P
