Western Electric/AT&T rejected the assigned call for its NYC station
in 1922, WDAM. It got the next available call sign (in alphabetical
order), WEAF.

This later became the flagship station of the NBC Red Network. It
later became WNBC, WRCA, WNBC again, and, when GE got rid of radio
after buying NBC, it became WFAN.
