Interesting. I'm almost positive that (in the Eastern USA, at
least), it's spoken as"doble ve"; that is not to invalidate
your form, of course. I'll listen, next time I hear a station
break in Spanish. Our eastern station call letters start with
W. (W was for Westinghouse, and K (Western USA) was for
Kaiser, I have heard.)
