KLF was at the forefront of 'Industrial' and shouldn't be dismissed simply because they eventually crafted radio songs.  Before they were called KLF, they were called 'The Time Lords' and did 'Doctorin' The Tardis' which was an industrial take on the Gary Glitter 'Rock and Roll' song.  They've went under a few other names as well, just can't think of them at the moment.

K is actually a very rare letter is Spanish and is oficially used in very few words, all of foreign origin (kilo, poker...) \n\nOn the other hand, it is a very common word in the Basque language (Euskera). In the 1980s, young people from left-wing groups supporting Basque separatism started using the "very Basque" K when spelling Spanish words, most notably in the phrase "mili kaka" (which rougly translates as "conscription is crap"). So using K instead of C became  a form of rebelliousness. Besides, music groups such as "Soziedad Alkoholika" or "Kortatu", both from the Basque Country, contributed to spread this new spelling.\n\nIn the 1990s, the new usage of K spread to young people who didn't actually care about the Basque Country, but just wanted to look rebellious or cool.\n\nNowadays, K is used instead of C or QU by most Spanish teenagers when sending SMS or chatting. It is simply trendy, but officially, this usage is still incorrect.

Sirius radio has quite a few good rock stations.  One of my favorites is called Hair Nation.  Feels like I am in high school again!

The radio station purchases a number on the radio dial (their frequency)  The radio station buys tower(s) to transmit their signal.  They have salespeople to sell advertisements that they will air on the radio.  They can charge what they want for ads and air as many as they want.  That's kind of the simplified version, but I think you get it.

They should both be the same.  The only stations that are different are the one's on AOL, cause AOL add's their own formats.

The  letters K and W originated early in the 20th century as part of a worldwide index of ship radio stations. K stood for ships on the East coast, W for ships in the Pacific. For some reason, when the letters were extended to land-based stations, they were reversed, with the Mississippi River eventually adopted as the dividing line. Ever since 1923, stations west of the river start with a K, those east of it start with a W.

F.C.C. regulations declare that stations on the "radio" must identify themselves by call letters every hour of operation. And on HAM radios its every 10 minutes. \nStation identification is used because of the sheer number of signals available over the air. Not only are there radio and television signals being broadcast, there are also two-way radio signals from police, emergency crews and private companies as well as amateur radio signals. Early radio operators recognized the need for anyone listening to a signal over the air to be able to tune in a specific time and immediately know what station was being heard and where the signal was originating from.\n\nAccording to United States law, the FCC can fine or reprimand a station for failing to make the appropriate identification.\n\nSo yes they infact do, you just might not hear it now-a-days as obvious as you used to.

They are two ways of modulating a carrier wave to carry digital, i.e. binary, information.  In ASK the amplitude of the signal is varied between two levels to indicate a one or zero (on/off keying is a special case of ASK where one of the amplitudes is chosen to be 0).  In FSK the frequency is varied to indicate ones and zeros.  Both are applied in broadcast radio communications and wired data transmissions.  FSK is less suceptible to interference, like FM signals in general.
