Chicago Legal IDs
The excellent website TopHour.net (also now available as TopHour.com) is attempting to collect the legal IDs for radio stations from the Top 20 markets in the U.S. When it started, Brian (the site owner) had a nearly full set from Los Angeles and Phoenix, so he included #21 and #22 to cover for them (Puerto Rico is not included in this effort, though he certainly welcomes IDs from there). The site is about to drop its list of stations by market (due to time issues), but this list should help from a information standpoint. In some cases the stations are "rimshots" that only cover part of the market, but this is what in particular is being sought out. A legal ID, if you don't know, is the information required once per hour with the call letters and city of license (i.e. WKDF Nashville). Often legal IDs are buried in commercial stopsets and/or mumbled or sped up, particularly with the decline in use of call letters as station identifiers.
What is listed here are stations that currently exist that aren't on the site. In many cases, there are older stations that have changed call letters, city of license, etc., but that would be time-consuming at best to list here.
