CALL LETTER ORIGINS Part 2

I've gotten into this before but it is an endless source of amusement for me. Call letters come from only one place, the FCC. A station may request certain calls, and from within their own network trade them pretty freely, but ultimately they must file with the FCC for approval. Some stations take randomly assigned calls, but most request specific calls. in the 1950s actonyms were fadish and many can be traced back to hokey phrases from that era. College stations usually select ones named for their campus.

But many others have simply bizzarre etemologies. I list a few of these below, some are anecdotal, some are confirmed.
