An FM sister was started in 1962, and, since FM was still a new experience during those days when Chubby Checker and Gene Chandler were starring in "Don't Knock The Twist" as it made the round of movie houses, the sister station was first called WNFM. In 1975 its call letters were changed to WCVU, which, if you leave out the is one of two easy ways of saying "sea view."

But they wanted the in there so they could all themselves Q-96 or Super-Q." sed to be a very popular last name lor FM radio stations. Way way back fhen, Archibald, or Archie, used to te a popular name for newborn boys. Most people don't name their sons Archibald these days. Some radio stations still name themselves but (he trend is on the decline. i WMYR: "It means Fort Myers," says a nameless lady whose long title te, "I'm kind of like the furniture around here." It's a good title because even during the frustration of the winter traffic season, few bosses think about firing the furniture.
