Finally, call letters to match 93.9's handle

R

As of Friday (8/1), “Carolina’s New Country-B 93.9″ has dropped the WKSL call letters–a remnant of their “93-9 Kiss FM” days from 2006-2013–for WNCB. An interesting historical note…the Cary-licensed 93.9 was, until a few years ago licensed to Burlington where it began as the sister station to 1150 WBAG (originally WFNS and WFNS-FM). Cross-town Burlington competitor WPCM 920′s sister FM, now WYMY 101.1, was known as WNCB from 1973-1978 before becoming country WPCM (the AM was, from 1941-1998, WBBB).
 
I didn't know those call letters belong to 101.1 FM years ago.
 
And a big mess for Wikipedia.

I worked most of Monday afternoon and still couldn't do everything because I'm not an administrator.
 
They finally changed the calls on 93.9 when they needed the WKSL calls for a current "Kiss" station down in Florida (97.9 Kiss-FM in the Jacksonville market); that station's calls changed to WKSL the same day the former WKSL here in Raleigh became WNCB.
