Television Stations
As listed below, four TV stations with three-letter base call signs no longer use the "-TV" suffix. These stations were previously co-owned with AM stations which originally used three-letter call signs but have since adopted other call signs. In this case, the TV station is permitted to, but not required to, drop the suffix.
In addition, two other TV stations with three-letter base call signs now use the "-DT" suffix instead of the "-TV" suffix even though their former AM sister stations continue to use those same three-letter call signs.

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or stations:
“The technological landscape of the present day has enfranchised its own electorates—the inhabitants of marketing zones in the consumer goods society, television audiences and news magazine readerships... vote with money at the cash counter rather than with the ballot paper at the polling booth.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
