This station is in my backyard (literally). I have only heard them use the new WQWK calls since they changed, and they are ESPN 24x7. So, Barry could be right that it's a similar-sounding call that was heard. However, it's a pretty small outfit, and I wouldn't completely rule out the possibility that someone inserted an old ID into the system.
I'll listen more and see if I can spot any discrepancies in their ID's Brett Saylor State College PA On Jan 6, 2010, at 10:26 AM, Barry McLarnon wrote: > On Wednesday 06 January 2010 04:07:28 Kirk Allen wrote: >> I just finished listening to a ESPN sta on 1450.
