That explains it thoroughly.

The paragraph you're probably looking for is this one though:

The first U.S. radio stations were allowed to select their own call letters beginning with either a W or a K. Also, early radio stations could select either a three-letter or a four-letter combination. Later, around 1928, the Federal Radio Commission formalized rules which required that all stations use four-letter combinations. Further, those stations east of the Mississippi were required to use an initial W while those stations west of the Mississippi were required to use an initial K.

"W" stands for "I Wish the FCC would disband and stop their archaic nonsensical fines for saying "naughty" words."
