I ask because I know on Frasier, KCAL the callletters of Frasier's fictional radio station stood for the Executive producers that worked on the show. Did WJM stand for anything on 'TMTMS?'

Well, on the show it was mentioned that the station was owned (at least originally) by Wild Jack Monroe, but I don't think the producers had any reason for choosing the letters in real life. Hope that helps!

I always thought that the letters 'WJM' were supposed to be a parody of the real life Chicago station 'WGN'.

I meant to reply to this earlier... that's a wonderful answer! ;)
I think it would be cool if that was really it. :)
