Unusual Call Letter Situation

M

Matt

Has anyone realized that there will, assuming no one changes the call letters, be three stations in the Upstate with the call letters WSPA, with a different owner for each service....

WSPA will be owned by Davidson Media
WSPA-FM will be owned by Entercomm
WSPA-TV will be owned by Media General

I wonder if there are AM-FM-TV calls in other areas, with all stations in the same market with a similar split in ownership.

Later...

The only one that comes close is WIS-TV in Columbia. WIS Radio was around years ago with different owners, but in the last few years, 1320 AM (which is technically WISW-AM) calls itself "News Talk 1320 WIS". TV is owned by Cosmos and Radio is owned by Citadel. I guess that's splitting hairs.
