the call letters of radio stations often include vestiges of history. In
Chicago, where I'm from, there's WGN (World's Greatest Newspaper, the
Chicago TRIBUNE, which now owns the L.A. TIMES), WLS (the World's Largest
Store, i.e. Sears), and, surprisingly, WCFL (named after the Chicago
Federation of Labor). When I was growing up (to the extent that I did), the
latter two were the big competing top-40 AM rock stations.
