         WFLA and WSUN began sharing the
         transmitter a little over four years
         prior to the DA.  They were NOT
         IDing as WFLA-WSUN at the time,
         but operating separately, with
         WSUN on three nights a week and
         alternate Sundays.

         The DESIGNER of the first broadcast
         DA came from England: Raymond Wilmotte.
