#1 In the SF Bay area that had KOME and they made the most out of the pronunctiation to make it sound like an ejaculatory liquid. I remember a station ad with Chevy Chase saying "don't touch that dial, it has KOME on it."

Heavy forbid if KUNT's program directors are immature.

KOME was the station I listened to in High School.

#6 It is "extremely embarrassing for me and my company and we will file to change those call letters immediately."

Not very bright. I'd auction it off on ebay and then go get me new call letters!
