Along these lines I was listening to the frequency change for 670 and
950 in Boise Idaho in the late 1960s.  What was the call sign of the 950
station that was swapped.  I do not think it was KTAN but something with
a b in the middle of the call sign.  Incidentally I was doing this from
KC as am DX.

Steve, you're absolutely right. KYW belonged to a station in Cleveland,
and they changed at that time to WWWE, and WWWE in Philadelphia became
KYW. I was listening during the call changes.
