Enhanced (display-friendly) call signs

In some cases, station call signs can be unfamiliar to TV viewers, which is not ideal when users are trying to find their favorite stations and shows!  A request parameter, enhancedCallSign, is available in two methods, Find Lineup Airings (TV Grid) and Find Lineup Channel Listing.  Setting this parameter to true will replace the standard callSign in response with our more readable call signs, when available.  A full list of enhanced call signs are below.
