Comisky Park to whatever-the-fkuc... And tore it down.

some American Stations changed to Amoco, The company had to keep some stations with American so not to break the Contract with Standard Oil. The same thing with Standard and Chevron.

What is WHTQ from Q96. Is Q96 a radio station?

Plover, Wisconsin area radio station.

If you think Reba has been doing a "disservice," then you probably think all of the ones who have donned the white suit have done disservice as well. Folks like Rob Lowe Norm MacDonald, George Hamilton, Ray Liotta, Jim Gaffigan.

YES!

Actually it was all because of the internet! Because both abbreviations were the same they the WWF didn't want to have people spell out World Wildlife Fund just to go to their site all the time(yes now we have tons of extensions other than .com and bookmarks so kinda pointless). So they took them to court and since the WWF was around long before the WWE. The decision fell on the WWF being the victors. This was not a terrible thing in McMahon's eyes. Now they are WWE and considered "Sports Entertainment" they are able to go into states/providences/countries/etc. that previously they weren't able to be in due to "publicized fighting" laws. So the only money lost by the WWF was wasting their own money going to court for something that would've cleared itself over time.

Thanks for pointing that out; I remembered that info as well. The name WWF just sounded better.

Didn't Radio Shack do that to Auto Shack?

I had to look that one up, and it's confusing. YES, I did find where Radio Shack sued and won and forced Auto Shack to become AutoZone.

YET, there IS an Auto Shack web site today. https://www.autoshack.com/

Also an AutoZone web site. https://www.autozone.com/

To expound upon the WWF/WWE name change the company name was actually Titan Sports inc. until 1999 and then it was briefly renamed WWF inc. on May 8, 1998. A year later it was renamed again to WWFE INC. On May 5, 2002, the World Wrestling Federation announced it was changing both its company name and the name of its wrestling promotion to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Although mainly caused by an unfavorable ruling in its dispute with the World Wildlife Fund regarding the "WWF" initialism, the company noted it provided an opportunity to emphasize its focus on entertainment.

On April 7, 2011, WWE, via the WWE Corporate website, announced that the company was ceasing use of the full name World Wrestling Entertainment and would henceforth refer to itself solely as WWE, making the latter an orphan initialism. This was said to reflect WWE's global entertainment expansion away from the ring with the ultimate goal of acquiring entertainment companies and putting a focus on television, live events, and film production. - Wikipedia

While I agree with you, this is the third time you have posted this.
We get the point.

I couldn't register with either FB or Twitter. I had to use my email.

I think Soraya was inquiring about why METV stopped using Disqus.

Same with FEDEX. Customers shortened that name, as well.

Sunny D (Sunny Delight) is another victim of simple laziness.

I never say KFC either.

I've always just referred to it as "Colonel Sanders'"

We called it that in the mid-80's in my little town.

I not only don't say KFC, but I also will not go there again, after they ruined an anniversary for us. My husband & I wanted to have a picnic with our daughters on the spot where he proposed. Like on the day he proposed, we picked up KFC (which I'm using for typing purposes), paying extra for boneless, as my husband can't eat bone-in chicken due to a mouth problem. We got up to the spot, only to find our bucket of chicken full of bone-in! We contacted them; they told us to come back, so we did. The manager took our information and promised us a free meal the next time we came in. One week later we decided to take advantage of that...and were told that they wouldn't honor it. We tried for a year to contact the parent office to complain, to no avail. That was the last time we ever went for KFC.

What does the talk about your mother's "cute little Datsun" have to do with the topic of this article? The article is about name changes. Was it at some point, the Datsun name was changed?

#2 in the list. Datsun changed to Nissan.

Read the article and get a grip... You're very angry.

Nissan Corp IS planning to bring back Datson as a lower level in emerging markets with Nissan as a Mid Level and keeping Infinity as the High Level
