Perhaps someone can answer a question I've wondered about for years. Why do American radio stations have these odd names consisting just of letters and numbers? Do they have some obscure meaning? I see that this one of Wood's has "NYC" in its name, but most of the ones I hear referred to on American TV shows have names which seem to consist of pretty random sets of letters.
In the UK, radio stations have names that generally tell you either where they are (eg "Radio Manchester") or what kind of music they play ("Jazz FM", "Classic FM").
