WEIM changes

[Dave Tomm]

In Connecticut, WKSS is licensed to "Hartford-Meriden" and must ID as  
such.  It says so right on the license in the control room.  "WKSS,  
Hartford" would not be legal in this case.  There is a story as to why  
the COL was applied for and granted this way but it escapes me at the  
moment....
