Years ago a handful of early AM broadcasters had FCC approval for high wattage signals that covered most of the US. Many had call signs related to their owners or major sponsors:
WLS (Chicago) Sear & Roebuck= World's Larges Store
WSM (Nashville) National Life and Casualty Insurance= We Serve Millions (Grand Ole'Opry)
WWL (New Orleans) Jesuit Loyola University, originally jazz especially Dixieland, now more country/truck driver programming
