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:
“Photographs may be more memorable than moving images because they are a neat slice of time, not a flow. Television is a stream of underselected images, each of which cancels its predecessor. Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“After I was married a year I remembered things like radio stations and forgot my husband.”
—P. J. Wolfson, John L. Balderston (1899–1954)
