Forgive me if this question has already been asked ( I searched but didn't find the answer )....

Cincinatti's WLW-T....considering that thestation for years was co-owned by WLW radio I wonder why Crosley/Avco just didn't use the call letters "WLW-TV" rather than "WLW-T"? Or did they call themselves "WLW-TV" over the air even though the official calls were ( and still are of course ) WLWT? WLWT has their own You Tube channel and one clip they had recently ( sure its still there ) was a weather forcast from the mid 50's. The announcer said for the station ID of course "WLWT Cincinatti" but then said the weather came from "WLW". Just curious.

Same with Charlotte's WBTV. Interesting they never did call themselves WBT-TV.

Crosley/Avco used the "WLW" variant calls for most of their properties, including WLWC in Columbus, OH (now WCMH), WLWD in Dayton, OH (now WDTN), WLWA in Atlanta (now WXIA) and WLWI in Indianapolis (now WTHR). In that sense, the WLWT calls for Cincinnati seemed to make sense (it was, after all, their main flagship). Of course, they would often have a hyphen between the WLW and the last letter in their call sign, which seemed a particular style of theirs.

The only exception to this rule was San Antonio's WOAI, which Crosley/Avco owned from 1965 to 1975.
 
WBTV was going to be called WBT-TV, until
somebody (I don't know who) decided that
WBTV rolled off the tongue better; WBTV it's
always been.

I have a Kentucky listing for the Saturday
after Thanksgiving 1968, and by that time
WLWT had dropped the dash.

WTWO Terre Haute was listed as W-TWO for years.
