Something BIG is coming to Greensboro

The call letters of Aurora, IL station WBIG are moving back to the 1470 frequency in Greensboro, where they resided from October 14, 1930 until Jefferson Pilot shut down the station and turned in the license. The last airdate was November 20, 1986. The FM station that is now WJMH took the WBIG-FM call letters after Beasley bought the station, and branded as "Big 102."
The 1280 frequency in Aurora will become WTFN. FCC Form 380 (Exchange Request)
WBIG returns to it's original home in Greensboro on July 1.
 
Gosh, that seems like a lot of work just so 1470 WWBG Greensboro can become WBIG.

And it's not a stand-alone station. It's a Classic Hits simulcast with 980 WTOB Winston-Salem and its translator at 96.3 FM. With all that, every time these stations do their legal I.D.s, will anyone notice the call sign for one of the stations?

A lot of work? All they did was buy the call letters from the guy in Illinois for $5000 and file a form with the FCC...
