The same thing has happened on many of the CBS all-news stations. WWJ is the 
same as WCBS is the same as WBZ is the same as WBBM. (Often, including the 
same bumper music into traffic, etc.) They run a lot of the same formatting 
in terms of how the clock goes and the other little idiosyncracies. (Though I 
must say that WWJ tries to add a little laughter in with the news, and it's 
not something that I particularly like.)

Is Infinity Broadcasting again changing its name? (I hadn't heard of this 
one.)
