WKLB announcement?

[Doug Drown]

Re WKLB AM and FM: I know of a couple of instances in which the new owners
of two local broadcasting stations that share a common heritage but have
lately been separated (e.g. WISN (AM) and -TV Milwaukee and WABI (AM)
and -TV Bangor) have agreed that each station can keep its historic call
letters, but I've never known of an instance like this one.  I'm assuming
Greater Media doesn't own the Kentucky WKLB.  So how can two stations in two
different communities, owned by two different companies, be granted the same
call letters, even if one is AM and the other FM?  Sounds to me like an open
invitation to confusion.
