Just fyi, it's WZRH. A nod to the original 106.1 The Zephyr.

NOLA radio trivia: so what did those call letters originally stand for?

Not sure if this is what you're getting at. But way back in the day there was a WZRH-AM in Florida.
Zephyrhills.

And thanks for catching my typo in my original post.
 
It was before my time at 1601 Shortcut Highway, but pre-Zephyr wasn't 106.1 Z-Rock for a while? I could see the calls as "We're Z-Rock... Howes?". I mean the good Doctor* made us play his 'famous' country song every hour during Mardi Gras, why wouldn't he also stick his name in the call letters, hah!

*owner of the station.
