In the United States, generally, radio stations east of the Mississippi River [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_signs_in_the_United_States|are assigned call signs]] prefixed with the letter "W," while call signs west of the Mississippi begin with the letter "K." This suggests that WKGU is located in the eastern U.S., though [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FM_radio_stations_in_the_United_States_by_call_sign_(initial_letters_WK%E2%80%93WM)|there is no actual station]] with such a call sign. In addition, FM broadcast frequencies in the U.S. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM_broadcasting_in_the_United_States#FM_radio_channel_assignments_in_the_U.S.|always end in odd-numbered decimals]], indicating that 97.2 is a fictitious frequency, though [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/97.2_FM|some stations in other countries]] do broadcast on this frequency.

It is possible that the call sign WKGU stands for "[[Kier, PE|Kier]]-[[ganz_pe|Ganz]] University," though the name of institution of higher learning where both Mark and his wife [[Gemma]] once taught is [[Ganz College]]. WKGU News is [[https://marvel-cinematic-universe-guide.fandom.com/wiki/WKGU_News|a fictional TV station]] in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
