Maybe the title honors the inauguration of radio broadcasting. LU is a call
sign for Argentina.

Thanks Bruno for the explanations. What I am looking
for, though, are the Spanish words that they stand for
(N.N. & C.T.V.)? Do you know what they are?
I also came across a milonga "Por H o por B". Any
ideas anyone?
Thanks

Yes, "Por H o por B" means "For H or for B".
The H and the B stand for 'Hairy' and 'Big'. Thus, "For Hairy or for Big".
So-o-o-o, the lyricist was writing about someone with a fetish for big, hairy people. Probably a female lyricist, but I suppose there are many men out there who are into hirsute women. Coupling this with an additional fetish for fatties, then you have men who like big fat hairy women.
It's easy.
Hope this helps

The abbreviations in Spanish would mean:
N.N. = sin nombre
C.T.V = Se te ve

------
N.N. = Ningun Nombre (in other words name unknown or in this case 'whithout a name' or "untitled")
C.T.V. = If you sound off these letters in Spanish, they stand for (onomatopoeically) 'Se Te Ve' (you are showing something).
N.P. = No Place. In horse race wagering, the first 3 spots are Win, Place, and Show. No Place = didn't win at all.
Por h o por b = For any reason. Kids learning to write always have difficulty making the two letters distinct enough.
Thus, the literal meaning of the idiom is, 'I don't care how it's spelled'.
In the case of the milonga, the verse reads:
Por h o por b, en la pieza,
no se hace más que chillar,
ni un tango puedo silbar,
que te duele la cabeza.
Roughly translates to:
For whatever reason, in the [bed]room,
nothing happens but cries,
I can't even whistle a tango,
because you claim [to have] a headache.

Dear friends from tango list
This is an interesting title since it has no specific meaning for itself, i.e. each letter does not represent a word.
For H of for B means" wether I have the reason or not, you are always complaining " , in the script the man sings to his room mate, a woman that is always complaining. There are another expressions in the script like this ones , I will translate
warm regards
