On November 1, 1943, its call letters were changed to WABC-FM to agree with CBS` AM station, whose call letters were derived from the name of WABC`s former owner, the Atlantic Broadcasting Company. The FM station moved to 96.9 MHz on the new FM band in 1946 and its call letters were changed to WCBS-FM on November 2, 1946. WCBS-FM moved to its present frequency, 101.1, on 9/21/47.
