Individual evidence

  1. ↑ In North America and individual states in South and Central America, radio and television stations are designated by their call sign. In most European countries, the call signs that were originally mentioned on the radio stations disappeared early; in Germany they were never used. In the USA, the mandatory use of callsigns goes back to the radio history of the country and from 1930 with the licensing by the Federal Communication Commission. At the beginning of the 20th century, the then International Telegraph Union (ITU) assigned the country codes “W”, “K”, “N” and “AA” - “AL” to the United States in several steps. While "A" and "N" are used for military and amateur radio services, US broadcasters receive callsigns starting with "K" or "W" when licensed by the FCC. Broadcasters located west of the Mississippi receive callsigns beginning with the letter "K"; Station east of the Mississippi with "W". This regulation was introduced in January 1923 and is still in force today.
