[BC] Re: Call-letter curiosities

[Dan Strassberg]

And don't forget WHN. Years after Loew's, which owned WHN, dropped the call
sign in favor of WMGM, the station was purchased by Storer, which reclaimed
the WHN calls. Was that not the first instance of three-letter calls being
resurrected after being unused for an extended period?

BTW, does anyone have a comprehensive list of three-letter calls currently
in use in the US and Canada? WOW (arguably, the best of all three-letter
calls) is no longer on AM 590 in Omaha, but is it in use anywhere? And is
WHA the three-letter call sign that has been in the longest continuous use
on the same US station? WHA used to use the positioner "The oldest station
in the nation." I assume that now even Wisconsin Public Radio doesn't like
to be associated with oldest anything.
