BTW, is there a WBAD or KBAD anywhere?  WBAD ("Bad 94") is on 94.3 FM in Leland MS. KBAD (KORK 920 until 1997) is in Las Vegas. The KBAD call letters were previously on 740 AM for many years in Carlsbad NM; it switched to KATK in 1987. |

The old WSBP-AM in Chattahoochee, Fla. "We Slop Bud's Pigs."
There's a river near the station (now WTCL) and in years gone by, there was a hog farm "across the river."

Those on the Houston board know all too well about KTRH's nickname, coined when the place became a revolving door:
"Keep That Resume Handy"
(or alternately, "Keep That Rental House")

No, it's now KLST-FM. But there's a construction permit for KLIT 90.5 in Del Rio TX.
