Take KTVU for example: "Back in the early 1950s, Channel 36 in Stockton was one of the very first UHFstations and they had the name first," said Ray Jacobs, director of administration for KTVU. "After the station folded around 57 or '58, some of the engineers from 36 came over to work for 2 and they suggested the name and it stuck. Later on we came up with the 'There's only one, 2' promotion." Channel 4, KRON, according to senior publicist Stacy Stokes, is named after its parent company Chronicle Publishing.

The abbreviation QED was first used by Eu-did in 300 B.C. and stands for quod erat demonstrandum, which (in Latin) means 'which was to be The person responsible was station manager Jim Day's wife Beverly." The man who is TV20, James Gabber called us from his car phone while wheeling down Market Street to tell us that he came up with KTZO because "it looks like KT20 if you give the a little wiggle. We got our start in October of 1980. Before that, the station was KEMOand they were in need of therapy." Channel 44, also known as KBHK, stands for Kaiser Broadcast-.
