WARR

WARR is a designation that can refer to multiple distinct uses, depending on context. In broadcasting, WARR is most commonly understood as a United States radio station call sign. Call signs in the United States are assigned by the Federal Communications Commission and typically begin with a W or a K, depending on geographic location. The remaining letters are chosen or assigned to identify the station and may be reused over time. As a result, the WARR call sign has historically been associated with more than one station—on different bands (AM or FM) and sometimes with translator outlets—over the years. Because licenses can change hands, expire, or be reassigned, there is no single, enduring station universally identified by the WARR call sign at any given moment.

Beyond broadcasting, WARR can also function as an acronym or initialism in various non-broadcast contexts. In those cases, the meaning of WARR is specific to the organization, project, or field using it, and there is no single universally recognized definition. When encountered, the intended referent of WARR typically becomes clear only through additional context such as the organization involved, the geographical region, or the subject matter being discussed.

Because WARR is used in more than one domain, readers should look for accompanying explanatory details—such as a location, a date, or an institutional name—to determine which WARR is being referenced.
