Wink 106 FM in Corning, New York, used to play that game a few years
ago...
I'd hear it when I was driving through Corning on the way to Albany or
Boston.
The jingles said "Wink 106, W-I-N-K". WINK-FM, if I'm not mistaken, is in
Tampa, or was a few years ago anyhow. Even at the top of the hour, the DJ
would ID the station correctly ("You're listening to WNKI,
Corning/Elmira")
and right after that you would hear the rest of the jingle, which used the
wrong calls (WINK).

I never cared enough to file a complaint with the FCC, but it's still not
right. I'd be ****ed if I owned or worked for the stations whose calls
were
being improperly used.

I've been out of the business for awhile, but isn't there a rule prohibiting
a station from misleading or pretending to be another station? This
wouldn't apply to the WSC case that started this thread, but the 102.7 KIIS
scenerio would.
