I think they always did.  About the only instance I can think of where 
reviving old call letters was successful was with WJBQ in Portland...and 
given that (both times) they had a Top 40 format, I doubt the current 
listeners remember the "old" WJBQ which went away back in the 80s.  I also 
question how much heritage the WROR calls ever had to begin 
with...formatically the 98.5 incarnation was mostly AC, but all over the 
place presentationally.  I agree that whatever success 105.7 has had is 
more from finding their own niche as opposed to any "warm & fuzzies" from 
the calls.
