Hey, I follow the old AP Guide book.
You taught the class, you would know . My broadcasting professors always held that we needed to spell the name completely out if there was any ambiguity as to what it was, and then we could abbreviate.

Of course, I only have about a year and a half experience writing and reading news copy for a college TV station. Hardly makes me an authority.
