everyone must have blown their technology budget at the end of 2010.

I'm surprised the FCC lets the same call letters (KDIS) be used for different stations even if the stations are AM and FM.

Why am I not seeing it? I see WDW and KIDS, but not the others? lol

Say some out loud.

KMKY - "K-Mickey"

Even some of the ones not bolded are likely deliberate:

WGFY - "W-Goofy"
KRDY K-Radio-DisneY
WRDZ - W-Radio-DiZney

Many call signs have some meaning to them. In Syracuse we had WIXT-TV, with the IX standing for 9 (the channel) and T for television.
