Maybe not the local TV station, but the other day I had a similar thing
happen at the radio station I work at. I work at WKIT, the rock station in
Bangor, I was board opping a show, flashback, and the phone lit up, and
someone asked me what the last song I played was. I told him it was ZZ
Top, the guy told me it wasn't. After arguing with me, he asks "Is this
101.7? (which is Clearchannel's new Fox, WKIT's biggest competition)" and
I said "No this is WKIT" and the guy hung up. It's interesting how people
get call letters mixed up.....

Interesting thing is, at that time of the mroning on a Saturday, I highly
doubt that there was anyone at the Fox to answer the phone. Gotta love the
few stations that are still live 24/7.
