Ridiculous call letters

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.

 

WAKA is the name of a sports announcer from a local radio station, he was also my 8th Grade Social Studies teacher.... Charlie Waca....lol....

KOLD-TV in Tucson, AZ

 

...and Tucson is usually warm, not cold.

 

KOLD was originally a sister station of KOOL (now KSAZ) in Phoenix, and both stations were then owned by Gene Autry. Just as clever.

KOIN-TV Portland, OR

 

KOIN sounds like COIN.

 

yeah....and you think that is rediculous?

 

I think that was the point...although, in my opinion, KOIN doesn't sound too bad. Unlike other call letters.

I thought it would be funny to have a TV station in Rapid City, SD and change the call sign to KRAP.

 

WTSP in St. Petersburg, FL should change their call letters to that one.

it's a low-powered Infomercials station, but there actually is a KSEX here in Dallas. The station is KSEX 57. However, i have never heard any v/o use the call letters.

 

sorry, I have to ask????

 

Why did they not get KSEX on channel 69?

I don't know. Is it meant to be a joke? ???

I'm sorta amused by WOFL, sorta sounds like ROFL, maybe Fox 35 should rename their helicopter to "WOFLCOPTER", soisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoi

WEAR, cracks me up, but they say it W-E-A-R, and WALA, but they never refer to their calls. I actually like WALA (FOX 10), they're a very good organization.

Yes, but it apperas you don't get it.

 

KSEX on channel 69 would be a perfect match.

I believe that there was a WGAY-AM in Washington D.C. at one point.

 

1260AM. There was also a WGAY-FM on 99.5 in Washington. It then became WJMO ("Jammin' 99.5") and is now WIHT ("Hot 99.5").
