Not exactly, but I have story in just the opposite direction.....

When WJIB was WWEA, a Haitian group came over to WWEA-740 after being let off
WDLW-WRCA-1330.  Their slogan on 1330 was "THE POWER STATION"  and they
started to use the same slogan on 5-watt (night) WWEA. (They had no daytime
time).  I ran into the studio, and reminded them of the limited power and
they kept using it.   After heir first (and only) show, they finally got the
message.
