Not sure of the origin of the KYW call, but my recollection is that when 
Westinghouse bought the station in Philly, they  brought the KYW call sign 
from some place in Ohio.  Cleveland sticks in my mind but I wouldn't  swear 
to it.

It was over 40 years ago and my biggest concern was getting out of the 
fourth grade.

Here is a link  with some info on origins of some radio and TV station 
calls.
