Oddly, though "F1L" sounds like a phonetic abbreviation for Our Town, it was a coincidental result of the 1935 merger of once Strawbridge Clothier-owned WFI and Lit Brothers-owned WLIT. The PHL in Channel 17's WPHL-TV is the official airline code designation for Philadelphia. It resulted from a 1965 pick-a-name contest. Channel 48's WKBS-TV stands for Kaiser Broadcasting System, which owns the station. Initially, WKBP (for Kaiser Broadcasting Philadelphia) was considered.

KYW originally identified a Westinghouse-owned Chicago radio station which transferred to Philadelphia. Channel 3 was first Philco-owned WPTZ-TV, then WRCV-TV, before Westinghouse returned to Philadelphia with the KYW-TV designation it had given a Cleveland station. Radio station WIBG was originally religion-oriented I Believe in God.

Now-departed WJMJ similarly represented Jesus, Mary and Joseph. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS! Don't be misled. All replacement doors are not alike.
