Could this be the Same FCC That Went Nuts over Janet Jackson's Nip Slip?

Local stations get call letters that spell dirty words - TV Squad: "In what can only be described as utter irony, the FCC has given two local television stations call letters that either spell out or stand for dirty words. In Maui, it's KUNT. Yes, those are the real call letters given to a low-power digital station in Wailuku, Maui. The station is still under construction so no one has seen KUNT Action News as of yet--or maybe it's KUNT On Your Side.

The other station is KWTF in Arizona. Now, this one I like. I think I'd keep it. I'd make my motto, 'Hey! KWTF is happening in Arizona!'

Both stations are owned by KM Communications, which actually requested those call letters. The vice president of the company claims he (metaphorically) 'fell asleep on the job' when it came to requesting call letters. Yeah, right. Either he's a dirty, dirty man or he's extremely stupid for letting some high school-age employee choose the stations' call letters."

When North Texas State changed its name to the University of North Texas, the student radio station immediately applied to change its call letters to KUNT. The admin caught on before they could finalize the change, however.

Well, if the admin hadn't caught on, the FCC would have approved it.

Too bad Beaver College in Pennsylvania changed its name to Arcadia Univesity.
