Look at this KOFY Call letters were used in Texas!

Wow Its incredible that the KOFY Call letters were orginally used on 1050Am here in SFO until the 1990's and on TV 20 from 1986-1998 when it was under James Gabbert, before returning to TV 20 in 2008 under Granite.

Why is it incredible? James Gabbert bought KOFY 1050, added an FM and a TV and kept the callsign on the TV.

I think a far more amazing transition is the KSAN callsign. Originally assigned in the 1940s to 1450 (now KEST), it was then used by co-owned TV channel 32, which went on the air in 1958 (the first UHF station here). That was the Patterson family. Metromedia came in in the mid-60s, took the KSAN callsign off the TV station and changed the TV to KNEW-TV (which it co-owned with 910). The KSAN callsign then went to their co-owned FM at 94.9. Some format shifting then swapped callsigns a dozen years back between 94.9 (KSAN) and 107.7 (KYLD), so that now 107.7 is KSAN.

KSOL also has an interesting history...well, interesting if you're a geek...

Look at this it went to 1060 AM in Texas as Spanish Format. The owner of Texas KOFY was Jerry Russell.
