Thanks...I figured you'd know, DanSys! It's kind of a shame that those call letters which would be useful for many abbreviations are just that of a low-power repeater

In spite of top-of-hour required legal IDs, I'd challenge any listener under the age of 30 to match any four call letters (actually three, since "C" and "K" and "W" are givens) to brands such as Beach, Clubhouse, Peak, Mountain, Coast, Lake, River, Up, Star, Peach, Fresh, Juice, Sunny, Jack, Jake, Bob, Fred, Now, Bear, Beat, Breeze, Hot, Fox, Team, Game, Fan, Hitz, Amp, Sonic, Cat Country, Pulse, Cool and Kool, Boom, Jock, Kiss and Kissing, Kicks and Kix, Lite, Light, K-Lite, K-Rock, Easy and EZ, Life, Rewind, Love, Shine, Magic, Rocket, Mix, Spirit, Money, Smooth, Power, Soft, Super, Mighty, Point, Sound, Touch, Source, Vibe, Score, Wolf, Wild and Zone.
What we need are more descriptive nicks, such as Dork, Dwarf, and Toad ... or to borrow a tradition from our North American predecessors ... Run-By-Idiots, It-Wasn't-Me, Was-Like-That-When-I-Found-It, Trying-My-Best ... and my personal favourite: I've-Run-Out-Of-Ideas.
Sad.
