[BC] Call letter curiosity

[Barry Mishkind]

In discussing KYA in SanFran, someone wondered why they changed calls to 
KDBQ in 1960 and reverted to KYA 2 weeks later.

Someone suggested a wild speculation: KYA was co-owned with KCBQ in San 
Diego ...  and KYA's top 40 competitor, KEWB, was part of a KDWB KEWB KFWB 
ownership package (Crowell Collier).  They asked if, perhaps, Bartell, the 
owner of KYA and KCBQ, decided to make all their call letters fit a 
pattern, like Crowell Collier did - but changed their mind 2 weeks later?

Does anyone know?
