K/W Anomalies

Filed under:   by Xrlq @ 12:26 pm

If you’re like me, you may have wondered why “all” (but not quite all) the radio and TV stations in the west have call letters beginning with K, and “all” (but again, not quite all) the radio and TV stations in the east have a W, and those in between can’t seem to make up their mind. If you’re geeky enough to care about this stuff, this site is for you. My favorite is KTGG in Spring Arbor, Michigan, which reportedly got its K because some boob at the FCC thought “MI” stood for Missouri.
