Heritage call sign, well-known history.
CT your reference to WOLD reminded me that they became famous because of a song by Harry Chapin. WOLD was in Marion, VA at the time.

Neat little country station on 1420 AM I discovered by accident the other day. Hopefully the next guy will see where I'm going with this...

It's the country station that I hear in my driveway at night on 1330 AM instead of hearing my own Part 15 station. Funny enough, country isn't the only kind of music I've heard them play (I've heard oldies from them on rare occasion). They seem like a station I would want on my presets if I find myself in that part of Texas.

The house that Cathy Forsythe basically built. I believe it's a country format now, but was once well known to listeners between Houston and Galveston as "The Gulf Coast Rocker".

Brought free-form radio to New England in the late '60s, continued as an AOR powerhouse through the '80s before fading as rock splintered.

Now hip hop "97.9 The Beat", I remember this station as "The Zoo", an AOR during my teenage years. In the 80s, I would run around with my Sony Walkman, positioning it every which way I could in my hands to catch KZEW from Dallas. There was nothing like it here in ETX. It's also the first place I heard the unedited version of Money For Nothing.

"B104.7," now a country station that routinely tops the Nielsens in the Syracuse market, was WKFM, an automated Top 40 station during my time in the Salt City in the mid-'70s. That call qualifies under the rules of this game, too, I believe.

One that you'll appreciate, CT. Once owned by Thomas Booker Butler, hence the call sign, who also owned the Morning Telegraph newspaper. The Butler family sold the paper in 2018, after 108 years of ownership.

The original home of long time morning team Loren & Wally who survived 30+ years of call letter changes, format changes, personnel changes. Everything changed except for them. For a short while, back in the...80s?...everyone else at the station was fired except for them. Loren and Wally from 6am to 10am, Beautiful Music the rest of the day.
Lamptimer, the instructions in the first post specifically said "Whatever works for you, as long as one call letter matches the previous submission".
