Cleveland's KYW-AM (Make That Philadelphia's) and, a Chicago Connection

I was wondering why Cleveland had a station beginning with the call letter "K," when it should be a "W." I looked it up and found the station with those call letters to be in Philadelphia. What gives there?

It turns out that the "K" is there because it is one of the very first radio stations. Jerry G. Bishop was at KYW in Cleveland because the station was "there" at one time.

KYW is in in Philadelphia now at 1060-AM on the dial, owned by CBS Radio and has been all news since 1965. It began in Chicago in 1921 where it was part of the NBC Blue Network. In 1934, the call letters went to Philadelphia and in 1955 to Cleveland before returning back to Philadelphia in 1965, where it has been ever since.

There were reasons for the moves, but they tend to get confusing.
