Are there any tv or radio stations with the call letters FUSA?

[Deja Q]

If so, are they right wing?

Then they are silently saying "F USA"! :evilgrin: O8)

1. I'm pretty sure not....

Except for a few exceptions, all stations west of the Mississippi start with K and the ones east start with W.
I like your thought though....

2. Why is that?

The K and W thing? I've always wondered, and I'm sure someone on DU can answer this, and save me from the horror of actually looking it up.

3. Here's the answer (sort of)

Most broadcast stations in the world officially start with either a letter, two letters or a number. For example, Great Britain call signs officially start with the letter 'G' (although they are never mentioned - I guess the UK doesn't require it). J=Japan, XE=Mexico, 2=Australia, C=Canada, and so on.

The US has four letter allotments. K and W are used primarily, with k stations west of the Mississippi and W to the east. Stations in areas straddling the Mississippi can use either (Minneapolis has a mixture of stations starting with W and K, for example). This arrangement started in the 1920's, ans some stations grandfathered, such as KDKA, KYW and KQV in Pennsylvania, WOW in Omaha, and WHO in Des Moines. N and A are the other two letter allotments, but I have never seen a situation where they are actually used.

Don't ask me why I know this shit.
