I don't think it is an FCC rule.

Now that AM 88 (WCBS) and WFAN (AM 66) are co-owned, they both announce
where a game is going to be.

Ditto AM 77 and AM 1050.  But it used to be, back when these were all
separately owned, that - if an overflow game belonging to, say AM 66 was
shunted off to AM 1050 (WEVD then, WEPN now) or AM 1130 (WNEW then, WBBR
now), - they'd just mention the dial position, never the station's name.

Now if the Yanks are playing on AM 88, the Fan (AM 66) will say you can
hear the game on WCBS-eight-eighty (gulp gulp).
