If you are still following this thread, the original WJZ (now in Baltimore) was used as a call sign in New York City. There is also a history of assigning call signs after the network (WNBC - National Broadcasting Company station in NYC, WCBS, WABC, KNBC) or the initials of an owner or person associated with the station (WJLA in Washington, DC is call signed after Joe L. Albrition who owns the station.) Others like the old WLPL-FM in Baltimore had a call sign that fit into its tag line, "Land of Pleasant Listening".
Canadian stations all start with "C" like CKLW in Windsor.
