Call sign change
edit@VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004: The FCC public file for this station already uses the call sign WABE-TV [1] and the Call Sign Desk shows it as having taken effect on January 18 [2]. That is the basis on which I moved the page. The change has not yet posted to LMS, though. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:44, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- I have moved the page back after remembering something that happened last year. In the FCC LMS at one point in April 2021, the newly renamed KAUU showed up as "KYES-TV", its former call sign, in LMS. I wrote to Mark Colombo at the FCC to report the issue. He noted this:
The call sign system doesn't talk directly to LMS, and someone must have forgotten to make sure it was copied over.
- Because there is no automatic updating of call signs from the call sign system into LMS, if there is a discrepancy between the FCC Call Sign Desk and LMS, the former should be preferred over the latter. The call sign is WABE-TV, but LMS is not yet updated. That should not preclude a move when the station call sign is reported to have changed in other FCC systems.
