It works the usual way:

> z <- ts(matrix(rnorm(300), 100, 3), start=c(1961, 1), frequency=12)
> colnames(z) <- c("foo","bar","boo")

    Min.  1st Qu.   Median     Mean  3rd Qu.     Max.
-1.92700 -0.79140 -0.08982 -0.10660  0.54350  2.32600

You could also use z$foo, or z[,1] -- i.e. it works just like the data frames.
