Animal nicknames for radio stations

[Joseph Pappalardo]

There is a station in the South I hear on my teks down there (in Va?) called
"The Possum!".

They tease going to the stop-set by saying "12 more Possum tracks are coming
up!"

The billboard on the highway is the call letter/frequency...with possum
footprints going across it.  ;-)
