KANM to KVRX

Perhaps no one at the Federal Communications Commission realized that the new call letters they had just issued for the University of Texas' student radio station invoked this institution's most hated rival, Texas A&M. The gaffe, however, hardly went unnoticed in Austin. A few threatening letters and phone calls later, KANM had quietly gained authorization from the FCC to switch its call letters again, this time to the less threatening KVRX.
