No one seems to be able to verify it, but I remember distinctly that, 
the day I got my first FM radio, 5 December 1958, one of the first 
stations I listened to was "WNAC-FM," and sometime on the hour, I 
heard a recorded voice interrupt with "This is WRKO-FM in Boston."  
The WRKO calls were on FM at least that early, though AM listeners 
were unaware of it.  A year or two later, when WNAC changed its music 
format, they began ID-ing as "WNAC AM, WRKO FM."  And White's Radio 
Log listed the call as "WRKO-FM" as far back as I can remember.  I 
don't remember when I first saw White's, but it was long before the 
change to WRKO on the AM side.
