RADIO KEITH ORPHEUM

"Radio" referred to Radio Corporation of America.

"Keith" and "Orpheum" both referred to theater circuits of the same name.

Later, referred to R-K-O Radio Pictures.

Still later, referred to General Teleradio, which was the 50s/60s/70s
parent corporation of this and other stations in the former Don Lee radio
system, including WRKO, Boston, WOR, New York, KHJ, Los Angeles, KFRC,
San Francisco, CKLW, Windsor, Ontario (Detroit), etcetera.
