What's the deal with the four-letter codenames for US radio-stations? What happens when all possible four-letter combinations have been used, will everyone switch to 5 letter ones? In Yooroop (the pieces of it that I've been to at least), radio-stations got real names, nicknames and short forms/abbreviations. t.
