A couple of other early radio stations and what their
call letters meant:
WSB Atlanta: "Welcome South, Brother"
WSM Nashville "We Shield Millions" (the station was
owned by National Life and Accident Insurance Co.--
I think that name's right)
Some people said that WLW Cincinnati stood for "World's
Lowest Wages." I don't know what they really stood for.
Re "The Pruitts Of Southampton": Phyllis should have done
the whole show the way she did it starting in January 1967,
when the title was changed to "The Phyllis Diller Show": she
ran a boardinghouse, some of whose residents (in one or two
cases, her relatives) were: John Astin, Marty Ingels, Paul Lynde,
Louis Nye, Richard Deacon, and Billy DeWolfe. Unfortunately,
the audience had already tuned out, but had she done this
format in September 1966, who knows what might have happened?
I'll bet they had a great time filming the show, though.
