I haven't seen anything in the the FCC actions but that means nothing because 
they don't cover call-sign changes. The M Street Journal site covers call 
changes but I haven't figured out how to use that part of the site yet.

As for Salem wanting to imitate the WITS calls, gimme a break! The guy who 
suggested that was the same Joseph Gallant who used to post his yearly 
predictions here. Best laughs at this mailing list all year for three or four 
years running. He provides such good laughs because he is so unfailingly wrong. 
Why would anyone want to emulate the calls of a station that nobody remembers 
and that only had those calls for maybe two years--22 years ago? Whoever said 
that they thought the calls were going to stand for "Your Talk Station" sounds 
to me as if he's got it pegged. I liked the idea of WCOP returning to 1150; at 
least the calls were on 1150 for more than 20 years. OK, they've been gone for 
more than 22 years, but they do have some connection with the station. It's a 
heck of a stretch to say that there is a connection between WITS and 1150. 
Yeah, I know WITS and WMEX were both on 1510. and 1150 also had WMEX. Does that 
mean that 1150 needs to have WITS to obtain "closure" or something? And 1150 
and 1510 consist of the same four digits in different order. Ever think that 
the only three Boston-market AMs that have been WMEX were on frequencies whose 
digits add up to 7? Even *I* don't care about that! Of the three stations, only 
one was successful under those calls.
