[IRCA] TDY call

Given the life-span of radio station identities today, particularly on the high end of the band, perhaps it refers to the old military abbreviation for "Temporary DutY."

  I wonder  what inspired the call letters 
  When the station changed calls to WTDY from the  popular Top 40 WISM (in the 
  very early 80's if I recall correctly), the "TDY"  was shorthand for "today." 
  They used to call themselves "Today's Radio," and as  I recall stressed 
  information and public service.
