ABC started back in 1943 when the FCC used to believe that radio
consolidation was bad and made NBC sell its Blue Network.

I would guess at some point, Citadel will change the call letters of
stations with the same call (except for -TV) as Disney TV stations in
the same city. (e.g. WABC, WLS, KABC and KGO)


Do you really think that they'd change many of those historic calls?


It's been done before. When KGW AM was bought by CC, they got rid of the
call, one of the oldest in the NW. Several other stations with calls over 60
years old have gone in the past few years.
