I wouldn't call this an error, as it's not a hard and fast rule. For example the TV and radio station KYW is based in Philadelphia and doesn't follow the usual logic either. | I wouldn't call this an error, as it's not a hard and fast rule.

:It actually ''is'' a hard and fast rule. There's not a single TV station in KY that starts with K. See [[wikipedia:List of television stations in Kentucky]]. KYW is very much an exception, because that station is one of the oldest in the country, and predates and is outside of the K/W rule. (Three-letter call signs are ''all'' exceptions, because they're all four-letter now.) The few other exceptions — and we're talking a true ''few'' — all can ultimately be traced to an historical ''loophole'' in the rule. If you tried to start a new station today, you'd absolutely be bound by the W/K split. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''23:14:31 Mon '''18 Jul 2011 </span> | |||

On quite a few forums there was speculation that Fox News host Bill O'Reilly was going to make a cameo in Miracle Day, based on one of the TV newscasters seen during the "Miracle Day, Miracle Day, Miracle Day" montage in the trailer looking and sounding like him (but his full face not being seen). In New World we do see the man's face in full, and it's clearly not him (plus we'd have heard earlier if he was making an appearance). Still, it's a legit myth so should probably be added.
