CHR stations known by their call letters

Here are some CHR stations with names that include their full call letters, spelled out on the air all or most of the time when the station is identified --

KDWB "101.3 KDWB" Minneapolis
WNCI "WNCI 97.9" Columbus (listening live, I just heard a sweeper that said simply "97.9"...is that common?)
WSTW "93.7 WSTW" Wilmington
WVAQ "102 WVAQ" Morgantown, WV

What are some of the others? Stations that eliminate one or more letters (i.e. WPRO Providence calling itself "92 PRO-FM", KRQQ Tucson using "93.7 KRQ") don't count for this discussion. Neither do stations whose names simply resemble their calls, such as KIIS.

And yes, I know, these things don't matter to average listeners. This is purely a "radiogeek" question.

I was just thinking the same thing!

The first one I thought of hasn't been mentioned yet:

WAPE 95.1 Jacksonville, FL
 
Our sister station WAZY lafayette ind... Although they sometimes flirt with the Z 96 name,, but always seem to revert back to the WAZY status...

96.1 WSTO evansville- owensboro... In recent years its been called called Hot 96 STO but everyone still calls it by its call letters.

WZPL Indianapolis....More of an Adult top 40 these days.....

97.3 WMEE Fort Wayne.... More of an AC these days,, but was a mainstream CHR until 1994-95....
