Also, the ratings service have a set of rules too... forgive me if not exactly right as its been years since I saw a set, but... I think if two or more stations are using the same hook...."My Country--Sleezy Country" for example....then the ratings will be split equally...or something like that... but someone in the know might want to let us all know how that works for sure....

For the purposes of this paragraph, 50% or greater common ownership shall constitute a prima facie showing of common control. (m) Where a requested call sign, without the ``-FM,' ``-TV,'' ``-CA'' or ``LP'' suffix, would conform to the call sign of any other non-commonly owned station(s) operating in a different service, an applicant utilizing the on-line reservation and authorization system will be required to certify that consent to use the secondary call sign has been obtained from the holder of the primary call sign. Sec. 73.3550

I know that there is (or was) a station somewhere in the South that has or had the same call letters as a co-owned station in Pennsylvania. That would explain the KISS thing.

If they merely seek permission then CC would actually have to go with KMYC-FM as their "official" call letters which would then likely be heard ONLY at the top of the hour IDs. That's "my" understanding! Yes they can as long as they have the permission of the AM call letters owner OR they purchase those letters from the AM owner.
