Thousands, not hundreds! That's a really big list!

And, in some cases, incredibly out-of-date.

Example: WRQC, Cleveland, Ohio. 92Q changed calls 25 years ago.

92.3 became WJMO-FM, then WZJM when bought by local owner Xen Zapis.

After a while it was bought by CBS, ran their failed "Jammin' Oldies" format
for a while, and then flipped to their "Extreme" format as WXTM.

Having moved out of Cleveland three years ago, I just went back to their
website, 923extreme.com, and have discovered that CBS has moved the old
K-Rock New York calls (WXRK) to Cleveland. Ironically, K-Rock was also on 92.3.

K-Rock is now WFNY, Free FM 92.3.

Holy crap. Looks like Opie and Anthony are back on 92.3 in NYC, too. Guess
CBS didn't learn their lesson the first time.

WNOP's studios were *IN* the Ohio river! -- floating in the river,
which happens to be almost completely "owned" by the state of Ken-
tucky.

Cite, please?
