Australia
Station identification in Australia is unlimited to the nominated common or on-air name of the station or network affiliation, both for radio and television.
A radio station may have call letters related to its town or district name, and the company name, hence Charters Towers, Queensland station 4CHT and Ceduna, South Australia's Ceduna Community Radio Inc's 5CCR; or, the station may have a name-callsign completely different from its license callsign, hence the Wollongong, New South Wales station licensed as 2UUL known on air as Wave FM.
A television station usually associates with its network, hence the Regional Television Queensland station RTQ is known as WIN Television (itself associated with the larger Nine Network), and WIN's original station at Wollongong bears the callsign WIN.

—Alex Atkinson, British humor writer. repr. In Present Laughter, ed. Alan Coren (1982)
“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
