Letter/number nicknames, and "rounding off"...

[Paul Hopfgarten]

One 'rounding off" that IS used is for the 2 Frank (Nassau) stations in
Central NH

"99 and 104-9 Frank FM" does round off 99.1 to "99"

BTW: 106.3 plays all the same songs in the same order as 99.1/104.9 varying
from 10 seconds to 1 minute behind...

Why not combine 106.3 with 99.1/104.9 at that point? What, different market
albeit adjacent with significant overlap means the can't/won't trimulcast?

Enlighten me good people...
