It's the fact they say "WJZ-AM" Baltimore. AM is referred to as the "standard broadcast band" or something I think and there is and never has been a -AM suffix. There IS a -FM Suffix.
Yeha, I KNOW I'm a nitpick about this... call it an obsession if you will, lol TECHNICALLY, an FCC inspector COULD issue them a Notice of Violation for improperly IDing... I've heard of inspectors having an especially bad day and just looking for any small thing to nail the station for.
