Here's a fun bit. The FCC has given two local television stations some fairly, uhm, unique call letters.

KUNT was assigned to a low-power digital television station in Wailuku, Maui. Yes, KUNT (they're not on the air yet). In Arizona, KWTF was the designated call letters.

Both were assigned to KM Communications who apparently missed the offbeat references in the sea of selections. The company offered a sincere apology "to anyone that was offended," said Kevin Bae, vice president of KM Communications, who requested and received KUNT and KWTF. It is "extremely embarrassing for me and my company and we will file to change those call letters immediately."

Giggle-inducing call letters aren't new, or relegated to television. KCUF-FM near Aspen, Colorado got its call letters in August of 2005 and has been on the air since December. (If you're scratching your head, just spell KCUF backwards.)

Then there's KLIT, the former call letters of a FM radio station in Fountain Valley, California. Which I think would make for some killer sweepers.

Let's just hope that Sirius/XM give their new name a bit more thought than some broadcasters do.

Thanks realwx!

For those who missed Artie on Conan the other night, here's the video. I guess he is wearing a lot of make-up, but I would have never noticed otherwise.

(Side note... what the heck do you do with a sponsor who refuses to pay you?)
