Default Same call sign in different areas?

Are the call letters KCBS the only example of their kind? KCBS is an
Infinity (CBS/Viacom) all newser on 740 kHz in San Francisco. KCB S-FM
(formerly KNX-FM) and KCBS-TV (formerly KNXT) are in Los Angeles.

By the way, KCBS in San Francisco is one of several stations (of which
the best known is now co-owned KDKA) which claims to be the first
broadcasting station in the U.S. Their claim has to do with Doc
Herrold's arc broadcasting experiments in San Jose in the years before
World War I.
