Just for historical reference, it seems to me that back in the 1950s and 
at least the early 60s, stations used to use their full dial position.  
WBZ was "Radio 1030," etc.  Sometime later, they started dropping the 
final zero in AM stations (WBZ became "Radio 103"), and FM stations 
started to drop the decimal or round up ("FM 97" for WJIB 96.9, for 
example).  So this is a return to an older, and more correct, form.
