Thanks Scott. It is hard to remember them all. I forgot KMA-960, WKY-930k, KFH-1330, WGH-1310 and, most unforgivably, WGR-550. I'm sure there were others as well.

What is now KTRS operated as KSDK for awhile, I think. Other way around - KSD radio kept the 3-letter calls when radio and TV split. TV became KSDK, and still has those calls. What's now KTRS was KUSA for a few years under Gannett. The KSD calls survive on FM 93.7, now owned by Clear Channel. As for cities with multiple 3-letter calls, I think Seattle may actually have been the champion: KVI, KXA, KJR, KTW, KOL, plus KMO in Tacoma, not to mention KGY down in Olympia. KVI, KJR and KGY survive, and there's KKOL and KKMO. (What was KXA is now KTTH; KTW is now KKDZ.) The canonical list of three-letter calls is here: http://earlyradiohistory.us/3myst.htm s _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
