BBN changes WYFQ-FM calls

[Josh Owens]

But somehow those letters were all available.

That, they were. Used to listen some to KYFL, when I lived in Ruston, LA, did the acronym just go for the letters after the K? Dunno, just thinking out loud, as always. )

Another Example of stations 📻 with similar call letters on many different signals (other than BBN & K-Love), is Bott Radio Network, with Christian Teaching heard on many states in the Midwest. 🌻

Some Examples of Bott Radio Call Letters Include: WCRV, KCIV, KSIV, KCVW, KCCV and many others.

I believe the closest one of those to us, is (if it's still around) 1160 in Donaldson, TN, near Nashville.

I recall reading about the history of the network that BBN inherited the calls WYFI on their first station in Norfolk, Virginia, and 'assigned' the meaning of "Where You'll Find Inspiration". When they bought their second station, WHPE in High Point--originally owned by the High Point Enterprise, they 're-assigned' the meaning as "Where His Praises Echo". By the time they bought their third station, the former WXNC in Henderson, they applied for the call letters WYFL with the meaning "Where You'll Find Love" and have largely stuck with requesting available "WYF_" calls and assigning a similar meaning. PBS North Carolina is another example of requesting available sequential call letters, in their case reflecting flagship WUNC-TV with the last letter changing; further down the alphabet indicating the order in which a transmitter was activated (WUNC-TV 1955, WUND-TV 1965, WUNE-TV 1971, et al).

Read that too, maybe you were the one who posted it LOL, but it makes sense.

When NJ Country daytimer 1070 WKMB (named after the initials of its founders Kelly and Michels, K & M Broadcasters) was sold to a church, they kept the call letters and declared them to mean "the Word is Keeping Me Blessed".

To quote (as best as I can) Christopher Columbus from an Adventures In Odyssey episode, THAT'S-A-Good, I LIKE-A-That! )

Yeah. I knew both these examples. The question is how they got lucky and no one else had them.

Reckon the Lord just had them in the right place(s) at the right time(s).

And in Gaffney, SC, I always assumed WYFG meant “Where You Find God.”

It could be, Where You Find Grace.
