>>I get that all the time. I have found that these folks find your
number in the phone book and call you and are not listeners of the
station.

Not just limited to radio.  Can't tell you the number of times I have picked
up a phone call at master control where the person on the other end wanted
to talk to Dan Rather, Oprah Winfry, Jerry Springer, Roy Clark or any number
of other syndicated/network personalities.  These people are regular viewers
of the station and they think all the shows originated at the individual TV
studios so they'd call the newsroom, and the newsroom would pass them along
to MC.  This was long past the days where Saturday afternoon wrestling shows
were popular.

Not to mention my first ex wife thought that Hee Haw was shot in the Stuart
Avenue studios of WALB in Albany, Georgia where I happened to be working at
the time.  That's another story for another time.
