Is WBBM-FM assigned to 105.9 now since they are simulcasting 780 AM or are the WBBM-FM call letters still assigned to 96.3? From where I live I can only get WBBM-AM, faintly during the day - much stronger at night. I drove across I-80 recently thru Indiana and Illinois and checked out 105.9 but I don't remember hearing any callsigns other than 'Newsradio 780 and now 105.9 FM, WBBM' mentioned.

WBBM-FM is still on 96.3. The WBBM-AM simulcast on 105.9 is carried on WCFS.

The station ID is usually at about :56 after the hour as the commercial break starts.

Quick is right. It goes: WBBM & WBBM HD Chicago. WCFS-FM & WCFS-FM HD-1 Elmwood Park/Chicago.

Right--if you're distracted for a second you're likely to miss it.
