alaskanews 123 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 WHAM, WINK and KULR/KOLR come to mind the quickest, especially since all 4 use their call letters/word in their title. I'm sorry, but I cannot respect a news station called WHAM, WINK or KULR/KOLR News. KING and KONG sound pretty ridiculous together, but separate I think they are fine. What others are out there?
mattLAW 2 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 How about WAKA the CBS station in Montgomery Alabama. Wasn't it Fozzy Bear who always used to say, "waka, waka, waka!!!" matt.
artie fufkin 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I thought it would be funny to have a TV station in Rapid City, SD and change the call sign to KRAP.
jdcnow 14 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 KNUE-FM, a country music radio station in East Texas.
Ntropolis 600 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 How are some of these "ridiculous"? I think some of them, like WISH and WINK, sound pretty darn cool.
Alain 17 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 We are the WOOD-TV! For every carpenter WOOD-TV
Mrtraveler01 739 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I guess you are right Ntropolis, after all, WISH-TV was once the most repected news organization in central Indiana until WTHR dethroned them. It is a pretty unique name though.
Oliverolang 41 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 What about WHO in Des Moines, they used to have an owl as part of their logo!
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 WHIZ-TV in Zanesville, Ohio It actually stands for "We're here in Zanesville"
TexasTVNews 1379 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 KOIN-TV Portland, OR KOIN sounds like COIN.
eyewitness_news 5 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 KOLD-TV in Tucson, AZ ...and Tucson is usually warm, not cold.
Trip in VA 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 My local PBS is WBRA. It gets some jokes from time to time. The BR is Blue Ridge but I don't know what the A is for. - Trip
mattw783 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I'm surprised that no one mentioned KDUH out of Scottsbluff, NE...
AceHawk447 17 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I'm also going to agree with Ntropolis and say those kinds of calls are more clever than ridiculous.
watch 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I'm also going to agree with Ntropolis and say those kinds of calls are more clever than ridiculous. And plus they're more memorable.
mobilene 2 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 My local PBS is WBRA. It gets some jokes from time to time. Brings a whole new meaning to the term viewer-supported. Sorry, I just coultn't help myself. jim

capper581 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 I think KGUN is pretty stupid, it doesnt spell anything with the K but they say "k gun".
WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 K Gun...isn't that what they called the Bills' no-huddle offense when they went to four straight Super Bowls?
johnnya2k6 171 Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 I'm surprised nobody mentioned KAKE-TV in Wichita. But aren't we glad there's never a WANK-TV (or WHAK) somewhere? Jonathan Allen
AutisticPsycho 0 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 WNDS was pretty cool. Before it became myTV. I like the myTV idea, but even though, I'm from Boston, I always like hearing WNDS. Except they never said it as Winds but W-N-D-S. But who thinks they are creative call signs too? Like WCVB... for Channel V Boston. Also, WAKA is the noise Pac-Man makes.
Guest Mak Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 WMAR is my favorite....it reminds me of MARlboro, my favorite kind of cigarettes, or my name of course. Smoking is bad for you.
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 WTOK in Meridian must really be high on something!
