WKLB announcement?

[Dan Strassberg]

Wouldn't that be at least FOUR broadcast services? LP is one more (and can
be used either on an FM or a TV station, but I can't imagine a Wxxx-LP on TV
and an unrelated--or even a related--Wxxx-LP on FM, where xxx is the same in
both cases). I also can't imagine the FCC knowingly allowing the DT and TV
suffixes to be appended to the identical "base" calls if the stations aren't
commonly owned and in the same market. But isn't there at least one more
broadcast suffix--CA? What's that all about? Can't be for California, as in
the USPS abbreviation, or Canada as in Internet domain names.
