In general this is true, but another exception I can recall is WFAA radio/tv in Dallas. I believe that if a station was licensed early enough (like in the 30's), there weren't enough stations yet that they needed W's and K's , so call letters with W's were assigned. WFAA has been on the air a very long time. I can check the Broadcasting Yearbook for anyone who's really interested in this bit of trivia. -deborah gronke bennett fortune!dsd!avsds!avsdt:deborah
