 I was doing a proof on an AM, and heard the "legal ID" as being a 
 completely different station, on a different frequency, considerably

 Turned out they were simulcasting a co-owned.
 Probably illegal, but the owner and management didn't seem to care.
 Still doing it, years later, as far as I know.
