WILS AM & FM

1320 AM WILS (W Ingham County LanSing) is a News/Talk station in Lansing, Michigan.  I'm not sure what year this sticker is from but they could have had a Top-40, Country or Adult Standards format at the time.

Sister station 101.7 WILS was a Rock station in the late 1970s and early 80s.  The "racetrack" shape design of their logo was surely inspired by legendary AOR outlet WRIF in nearby Detroit.

The WRIF Depository

On this date in 1971, Detroit's WRIF went on the air and became a pioneer in the Album-Oriented Rock format.  "The Riff" started printing up racetrack-shaped stickers in the late 1970s and over the years hundreds of different decals have been printed.  Most WRIF stickers feature a band or artist, while others are station catchphrases/DJs, Detroit-area sports teams or specific concerts.  I have approximately 100 in my collection, some of which have already appeared on the blog and can be seen here, here, here and here.
