Not quite, Jim. When analog television for full-power stations was discontinued, stations had three options:
- Call letters plus the suffix -DT - Call letters plus the suffix -TV - Call letters only, unless also on a co-owned radio station somewhere, in which case a suffix is required Go back and look at the database again and you will find that, among other things, the Univision stations have the calls KMEX-DT and KFTR-DT. Several L.A. stations have the -TV suffix even though it is not required (KDOC-TV, KWHY-TV, KPXN-TV, to name three). The only two stations that *have* to have a suffix are KCBS-TV and KABC-TV, and (if you count them as a Los Angeles market station, as DirecTV does) KVCR-TV in San Bernardino. I had thought that three-letter calls on television stations which were grandfathered in after they separated from their radio stations still required a suffix, but I checked the only one of those I could think of, KOB in Albuquerque, and it does not have one.
