WFUN License Plate

I saw a license plate the other day that read, "560 FUN". I thought someone might appreciate the irony.

I don't get it, 560?
That callsign has been on the dyslexic 970
(79->97) since right after ours became WNWS.

Back in the day, 560, WQAM was WFUN's competition. Get it?

I know, but the license plate?

Speaking of license plates today I learned there was a rock station in Orlando from 1978-1981 called Zeta 7 which had a nearly identical logo to Zeta 4 in Miami.

The two stations were owned by different companies at the time (Sudbrink in Orlando and Gannett in Miami) so I'm not sure how they managed to get away with using that logo.

Zeta4 stood for the "Last Word in Quad", so I suppose that Zeta7 meant the "Last Word in Seven-channel Surround Sound.

I called the overnight jock (remember those) back in the early 90s to ask why it was called Zeta 4. Then he had to explain what Quad was.

Surround sound uses the same technology as quad, but it's perveyors were carefully to NOT mention that disastrous term.

I've never heard a Quad broadcast before, however a former jock once told me how he dubbed a quad record to a stereo cart with results that left the PD fuming.

Perhaps like early stereo with the sum on one side and the difference on the other.
I refer you to "Meet The Beatles".
