Could it be that it's an electronic typo and they really meant 102.7 FM?

We used to pre-produce the opening for ABC's World News Tonight because it 
involved a
lot of video and graphic elements.  One day, after multiple attempts at 
getting every thing
to happen in the right sequence and time, the final mix of the open was 
viewed by many
people in the control room and accepted.  The first feed of the program 
aired normally.
During the second feed, the phone in the control room rang.  It was a staff 
person watching
from home.  He pointed out that the date on the opening was wrong.  He was 
correct.
It wasn't the numerical part specifying the day that was wrong, but the 
month.  None of
the many people who saw the opening prior to that point noticed it and said 
something.
