Legal IDs

I just don't understand why it is so hard to get something so simple as a legal ID right in this market. When Alt 92.9 signed on they were IDing the translator wrong as "W255AH" instead of "W225AH." They fixed it after attention was brought to it, now they've freshened up some of the imaging with new drops and IDs since then and are making the SAME mistake again! I heard it tonight. "W255AH". Good lord 🙄.

106.5 Kiss FM's legal ID sounds so much like she says "W293A8." Lol just saying. Oh, and correct me if I'm wrong, but in order to be a proper legal ID, the calls have to come first, then the city of license after right? I heard 94.1 WHRP ID the other day starting abruptly as, "Gurley, Huntsville, Decatur. The best mix of R&B. 94.1 WHRP." I thought maybe I just missed hearing the first part of the drop so I listened for the next one next hour and sure enough thats what played. Thats not really "legal" is it? Maybe I'm wrong, or just old school.
 
You are correct.
Call letters followed by city of license with nothing in between. There’s a station in Nashville that does it wrong as well with call letters, slogan and then call letters and it drives me batty. They should know better. One of my former stations in middle TN did that and I had to tell the GM it was illegal that way.
