Ref for WPLJ call letters

[edit]

The AmericanRadioHistory.com ref is currently a dead link but I think I found the new URL of the intended .pdf: https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1971/1971-03-08-BC.pdf. However, if page 59 of the .pdf is the specific page intended (as implied by the URL of the dead link), all the ref says is "WABC-FM, ABC Inc., New York—Granted WPLJ(FM)." It says nothing about the inspiration for this choice of call letters. (Furthermore, according to the Wikipedia article about WPLJ, the cover by The Mothers of Invention didn't prompt the change of the station's call letters; corporate executives had another reason to change the call letters from WABC-FM. The title of the track inspired the selection of those particular call letters.) -⁠-⁠173.129.176.229 (talk) 21:49, 10 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps this reference would be useful in both articles? It comes from the book FM: The Rise and Fall of Rock Radio by Richard Neer: https://books.google.com/books?id=24wr6CsDyC8C&pg=PT85&dq=wabc+wplj+white+port+lemon+juice&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjO09Su4pPiAhXInOAKHWMhB88Q6AEIKjAA#v=onepage&q=wabc%20wplj%20white%20port%20lemon%20juice&f=false "WPLJ was a suggestion of Dave Herman's taken from a song by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention called 'WPLJ (white port & lemon juice.')" --DrChuck68 (talk) 15:20, 11 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
