I can out-curmudgeon that.  I'll bet they keep "CBS6" and change the call letters!  What they SHOULD change is their RF channel as they are one of the few (the only?) station still on Channel 6 (not counting "Hot 97").  They'd be doing viewers a favor by decamping the Lo-V band, but if they are truly the "horizontal axis of evil" they'll stay put out of spite, just to prevent FM band expansion.

Now get off my lawn!
