Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

104.1 WXTM "Extreme Radio" was an Active Rock station in St. Louis, Missouri from 1998 to 2000 and licensed to Jerseyville, Illinois.
The frequency is currently home to Urban Contemporary WHHL "Hot 104.1" now licensed to Hazelwood, MO.

WBNH

88.5 WBNH is a Religious station licensed to Pekin, Illinois. They signed on the air in December, 1988.

KSTR

KSTR "96.1 K-STAR" is a Classic Rock station licensed to Montrose, Colorado.
That much I know for sure. What's unclear is this KSTR sticker from the mid-1980s.

KSTR-AM was located at 620 AM and licensed to Grand Junction, CO (currently Contemporary Christian KJOL.) The FM half doesn't seem to exist, at least with the KSTR call letters. Both the 1984 and 1985 Broadcasting Yearbooks list 96.1 FM as being KWDE with an "Adult Contemporary, Modern Country" (?!) format.

I can find no evidence of a station having the KSTR calls in the mid-80s (as dated by the coupon expiration.) Judging by the Morning Zoo caricatures the station probably had a CHR format. Maybe there's no relation to the current K-STAR and the vintage KSTR other than having the same call letters and being from the same area. I'm through researching it.

UPDATE: See comments.

Brain Awareness Week - WMUB

Betcha didn't know that we're in the middle of International Brain Awareness Week. BAW is an "inspirational global campaign that unites those who share an interest in elevating public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain and nervous system research." They also aspire to "improve public health by expanding awareness of neurological disorders" and contribute to thekxfkmzmmmdffffsssszzzzzzzzz.......................sorry, I fell asleep there. Anyway...enjoy your brain everybody!

This brainy sticker is from those smartypants public radio people over at WMUB in Oxford, Ohio. They broadcast at 88.5 FM from Miami University. Budgetary challenges forced WMUB to become part of Cincinnati Public Radio in 2009, ending 59 years of local programming.

The District Municipality of Muskoka is located in the central part of the province about two hours north of Toronto. It's referred to as "cottage country" and is dotted with many picturesque villages, lakeside hotels and resorts and sees over 2 million visitors annually (although there are only 50,000 permanent residents.)

Radio Sticker of the Day Mailbag - KSPC

Another bounty of radio stickers, magnets and assorted goodies arrived today courtesy of Dan in British Columbia. The best of the bunch is this headphone kitty decal from KSPC.

88.7 KSPC is a non-commercial, block-formatted campus and community station owned by Pomona College in Claremont, California. Last month KSPC celebrated their 56th year on the air.

I don't think Nu'Chilla enjoyed listening to KSPC via the internet as much as I did.
