I’m new to the site but a longtime radio fan ever since four years of age when I started AM DXing from my Williamsport, Pennsylvania bedroom at night.
In the days before digital tuning was ubiquitous, it seemed to have been bit more common for FMs to market themselves in whole numbers (like 95 instead of 94.9) with the occasional “...and a half” for stations on a .5 frequency. In the same era, it was also perhaps more common for AMs to brand themselves with a two-digit number (think 99 WIBG in Philadelphia, 93 KHJ in Los Angeles, etc.). And by the latter part of this era, it was not unheard of for radio stations to operate the same call letters on both AM and FM in the same market.
My question is: Has a radio station ever occupied the same nominal frequency on both AM and FM and marketed itself as such? So for example, WCJE might broadcast at 990 AM as well as 99.1 FM and advertise itself as “99 WCJE - AM & FM”.
