I don't think the actual call sign of channel 4 is at all relevant to
this exercise.  It's about branding and synergy; if you own the market
for (commercial) radio news in town under the brand "WBZ", it's just
plain common sense to brand your television news likewise.  If done
well, the two media can reinforce each other.  If done poorly, of
course, each one can drag the other down.
