: I have a question about WLFM 87.7. Is this a commercial station? If so how can it occupy that portion of the FM spectrum reserved for non-commercial radio stations?
WLFM is not occupying spectrum reserved for non-commercial FMs. It is occupying spectrum reserved for channel 6 TV stations. WLFM is a TV station. The FM band begins at 88.000MHz. The culprit here is your FM radio that can receive part of channel 6 because this part of channel 6 is actually part of the FM band in Europe. The part that it can receive just happens to be the audio.
: I am wondering if they will change their call letters to WNUA. They are using WNUA's musical ID quite often in their test run.
The music "beds" don't belong to WNUA, they belong to the Smooth Jazz Network. All SJN affiliates, including new affiliate WLFM, get the same beds from the network.
