Are the call letters KCBS the only example of their kind?
KCBS is an Infinity (CBS/Viacom) all newser on 740 kHz
KCB S-FM (formerly KNX-FM) and KCBS-TV (formerly KNXT) are in Los
Angeles.
These are not the same call signs. The TV and FM endings are integral
parts of the callsign
According to the way the FCC looks at callsigns these are three separate
call signs.
KCBS is a four letter call sign
KCBSFM is a six letter callsign which happens to end in FM
KCBSTV is a six letter callsign which happens to end in TV.
Bzzt! Sorry, but thanks for playing our game.
The correct answer is that there are no 6 letter calls in the US. When
the stations with the KCBS call legally identify themselves, it is done as
"KCBS [COL]" Legal station ID's do not have the AM/FM/TV suffix, nor even
the frequency/channel of operation.
Stations KBPS (AM & FM) are co-located, but not co-owned (one is owned by
the KBPS Foundation, the other by Benson Polytechnic High School). Each
ID's only as "KBPS, Portland"
There is only one station "KBPS". It is an AM station on 1450KHz.
It is owned by School District #1 of Multnomah County, Oregon.
The FM station is on 89.9MHZ its' call sign is "KBPS-FM".
If the station owned by the Foundation is identifying itself only as "KBPS",
they are not correctly identifying their station.
