Since they appeal to entirely different audiences, it should not be a problem. Still, it is a little too close for comfort.
Also, radio stations in Philly don't get ratings by people writing the call letters down on paper anymore. So, stations no longer care if the listeners know the call letters, unless they're using the call letters to get people to remember to tune in. Q-102 only says "WIOQ" on the air once an hour in hushed tones.
Yeah, as said now that the diary system is gone, Q102 doesn't really care about their calls. In the old days they probably would've protested out of fear people might write wwiq instead.
Only stations who use their calls as part of their identity would care now. WIP would protest WWIP for example, or KYW with WKIW (especially since some of the anchors with strong Philly accent sound like they're saying KIW already)

Right you are. The chance of Q-102 talking about anything of substance is near zero. No confusion there.Macy93 said:
Plus it's a completely different demo for that howling racket. On 102 I mean.
(says I who last tuned to 102.1 when it signed off as an album rocker in 1987.)
