One of my former stations in Middle Tennessee was WWTN....outside of the 
TOHID, it was always WTN. At one time it was a sister to WSM.

Apparently they like the 3 letter calls, or the RIAA is charging stations 
royalties based on number of characters in their calls. Pity those poor sons 
o' guns at WX2344LP.

Do you get a discount on your license fees if you only use 3 letters?
