Since this did not get any response when I posted it on the Kentucky board (and since discussion on the Tennessee board has been slow lately), I thought I would try this question again here:
Just curious, for anyone in the know, how did AM-1270 in Fulton, Kentucky decide to return to their original call letters, WFUL? I remember they were WFUL when I was listening to them growing up in west Tennessee back in the '70s. Then in the '80s, they went through some hard times, and were off the air for a while. Then around 1988, they returned to the air and renamed themselves WKZT after their then-owner, Kenneth Z. Turner. These were the call letters they had while I was working for them back in the early '90s. Then around 2004, they reverted back to their original calls, WFUL. To me, WFUL are heritage call letters for that station, and those are the calls that they should have. Although, if you didn't like the station, I suppose it would have been very easy to drop an "A" in front of those call letters! ;D
This station is only a mile from the Tennessee-Kentucky state line, and serves the twin cities of Fulton, Kentucky, and South Fulton, Tennessee.
