Not sure how many are familiar with Focus on the Family and their ministries but I noticed that one of their programs Adventures in Odyssey has a "fake" radio station called KYDS that they sometimes will format their episode of Adventures in Odyssey into a KYDS broadcast format where they tell stories or have fake news and other things that they play on them. Well I was curious and googled KYDS.

Evidently there is a real station in California with the call sign of KYDS

Because Adventures in Odyssey is using the name for a fictitious radio station does that mean they can use those call signs even though they are not associated with the station KYDS? They do announce in the program things like this is so and so reporting for KYDS radio. I was just curious what the rules where for the use of station IDs.
