Why all the radio and TV station names start with the letter K?
152565
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.

The letter "kn" was originally a Saxon sound that was somewhat different than a plain "n." Pseudo is a Greek word starting with the letter psi. Hence, ps. Back in the day, the p was actually pronounced. Same with ph having an f sound (the Greek letter phi) and the odd combination of th making a sound that is neither t nor h (taken from the Greek Theta, the German Thorn, and the German Eth).\n\nAt one point, every element that is now so confusing in English made sense... but then they were thrown together.\n\nBesides, other languages are difficult as well. Why do so many words have gender in other languages?\n\nEdit: rainbow, I was a bit hasty in my explanation. Saxon (that is to say, Anglo-Saxon) used the letter c in place of k, which is a deviation from most other Germanic languages (most of which preserved the very germanic/greek letter "k" over the Latin C). However "knife" is an Anglo-Saxon word (cnif) which is preserved in modern English. The K replaced the C over time, however the morpheme and combination letter itself is still Saxon. Anglo-Saxon, of course, being derived from the Old Germanic language, which is itself an Indo-European lanuage, though the AS version of the word is the more relevant instance for the discussion at hand.

I would think it is related to the metric prefix "kilo-" meaning 1,000 and abbreviated "k".

we don't use k,l,m,n anymore. The letters are s,p,d and f. They refer to the different shapes of the shells(orbitals)

BZ is a "well Done" and a pat on the back.  the words are taken from the  signal alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie etc) that are used when spelling words out over airwaves.  sometime static and other interference can cause the recipeint to misunderstand the letter V  for instance and hear it as B or C

Because you removed them. You can add your listings again (and I think you'll have the same stations even), if you click on "Add Content" and choose TV listings.

Only if your last name starts with a K!

There is no real definitive list, although some say that George Carlin started it with his "Filthy Words" routine.\n The FCC can fine a broadcaster, station, etc if they get enough 'complaints' about the content of a show or broadcast.  So the rules are constantly changing.

Because of the long and complicated influence from other languages as well as language 'evolution'. English is a germanic language. In 1066, Then french invaded england and we have a huge romance language influence from that. Then we have arabic words, indian words, it goes on and on. Plus some 'olde englishe' words were pronounce differently.  For instance I believe knight didn't have a silent 'k' originally. There have been many other vowel shifts and consonant additions/deletions that leave us with the mess we have today

Most likely it is a suspension for their anticks of not doing the show because of tech problems. I'm sure WJFK management said to do the show from the old studio while they worked out the issue of the link between the new studio and the station. Knowing them, they would say "no way", and trouble would follow. This would not be the first time for this sort of thing.

Well, I've been in the radio bus. for about 20 years in LA and i personally think star is lame.  They were great in the 90s but their ratings have dropped so low for the past 10 or so years due to a bad Program Director who is now gone.  The new guy is also the PD for KISS fm and it has improved in the past few months.  My fiancee worked and launched Jack FM 93.1 and I think that's a great station.  Kevin W. the Program Director has been the Program Director for KROQ for at least a decade and he oversees all the music and tweaks the station to play a lot of KROQ stuff which we love here in LA.  Another good one is KGGI in Riverside (hip hop) and I always think KIIS does a good job with their music and imaging but it's young.  So if you want variety, Jack FM is the best.  if not, KBIG is Hot AC, KIIS is CHR (pop), Jack is variety from the 70s through today, 99.9 from riverside is oldies and I think it's a great station.  and of course, there's KROQ but that's so hard these days.  KDAY 93.5 is R&B and that's about it.  Maybe you could tell me what music you like and I can help you more.  :)

Because there are a limited number of combinations, with only 26 letters in the Alphabet, And, with the Exception of KDKA, all Eastern Radio and TV Stations start with W and Western Stations start with  K. Who decided this is an even more interesting Question!And where is the Dividing Line?
