    The call letters KUNT have landed at a yet-unbuilt low-power digital television station in Wailuku, Maui.

    Alarmingly similar to a word the dictionary says is obscene, the call letters were among a 15-page list of new call letters issued by the Federal Communications Commission and released this week.

    The same station owner also received KWTF for a station in Arizona.

    From Skokie, Ill., comes a sincere apology “to anyone that was offended,” said Kevin Bae, vice president of KM Communications Inc., who requested and received KUNT and KWTF. It is “extremely embarrassing for me and my company and we will file to change those call letters immediately.”

    OHHHHHHH Bullshit he was shocked and embarrased. This is rad, and dude knows it.
    I worked in commercial radio for 10 years, leaving the industry after being a successful Program Director of a rowdy rock station. There were many many times we would sit around and think up the ‘best’ call signs - KLIT (is actually a lite rock station, now KJLL), KOCK, KSUK, KCUS, KIKE, KOON, KCUF, KAWK, and every other racist-ass label; bodily function, fluid or part.
    This made me smile a little inside to know that they got away with it, if only for a little while.. like the famous Florida license plate
    A55 RGY(with the orange in the midde acting as a letter ‘O’)A55RGY

    No way this company tries for KUNT AND KWTF out of the blue. No no. These were the product of some bullpen humor.
    Radio folk like to play dumb, and many (most) are. But one thing we’re not - is blind to a good bit of easy raunch.

    If these stations are looking for someone to join their programming team - drop me a line :)
