What's the difference between WXYZ-FM and WXYZ(FM)?

> Certainly legal if you say the city of license first. "Montgomery's WMXS-FM".

Not legal. See the rule above. The COL must follow the calls. You CAN put the frequency or even the name of the licensee in between, but nothing else.

Originally there was a WRRR in Rockford, Illinois. When my FM signed on, WRRR was something else, and the call was available--but it was issued to us as WRRR-FM. Then a few years later, the AM station in Illinois--some 600+ miles away from us, asked if they could go back to WRRR (which we agreed to do) and they used that call again for several years, before changing yet again.

That's fascinating, Tom. I used to work for that station, and wasn't aware that 19 months affter I left, it became WRRR again. It remained that for 7 years. Wow.
