- Who cares?

d'eduardo, d'Eduardo. d'EDUADO !

The majority of the Readers on this Newsgroup 'care' -cause-
Call Letters are Part of the Shortwave Radio Listening (SWL)
and the AM/MW Radio DXing and Listening (BCL) Hobby.
-ps- Remember this is the "Rec.Radio.Shortwave" Newsgroup.

D'Oh ! -A Radio Broadcaster should 'know' his Listeners.
-and- a Newsgroup Poster should 'know' his Readers.
-ps- You are showing and 'insensitivity' to your Readers.

- We were not discussing TV and

We are 'discussing' What We Are Discussing.
{ it is -what- It Is }

- most people don't identify electronic media by call letters anyway

D'Oh ! d'Eduardo,

Maybe that is 'true' for that Half of the US Population who are
Under-the-Age of 35 -but- For Us'ems who are 55+ Years Old :
We Be Knowing Our KABCs and WXYZs !
{ We Know How To Think In Call Letters and a lot more. }

So for some one like me born and raised in the San Francisco
Bay Area : KGO is KGO; and KCBS is KCBS; while Right Wing
KSFO is on the Left-Side of the Dial.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KSFO

Hell FM Radio Got-it-Right they put KQED-FM 88.5 MHz on the
Left-Side of the Dial with all the 'other' Public Non-Profit
Stations.
-but- As to 'why' KPFA is to the Right of KQED ? - I Don't Know !
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KPFA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KQED-FM

Now it is "True" that most TV Watchers Identify their TV Channels
by TV Channel Numbers and 'not' the Call Letters of the TV Station.
