  North American call sign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FM radio and television call signs may be followed by a dash and the two-letter class of station: "-FM," "-LP," "-TV," or "-CA." For digital television, the "-HD" and later "-DT" suffixes are no longer officially used, as the digital channel is not licensed separately from the analogue.
New full-power stations are assigned sequential call signs if the permittee does not choose one of their own; these are always four letters, of which the third is the least-significant digit and the second is the most-significant digit of the sequence number.
Generally the shorter the call (up to a 1x2 or 2x1 format) the higher the grade of license, but an amateur who upgrades is not required to change his or her callsign.

You made a sign and then put it up in the most public place you could find, so that as many people as possible would read what you had to say.
Again there is corporate censorship via the host, screeners, and the seven second delay, but unlike print and television media, censorship of call-in shows has to be done on the fly, and it's actually pretty easy to get past it.

The idea conceived in 1922 was brought to a practical result in 1927 when a sixty-line image of a dollar sign was the first image Farnsworth transmitted.

It’s either a sign of progress or fatigue that Sundance Channel’s new documentary series ‘Transgeneration’ is pretty darn pedestrian.
This eight-part documentary series (to call it “reality television” would be to cheapen it) highlights the lives of four transgendered college students — two male-to-female and two female-to-male.
