WSBF
88.1 FM WSBF is a student-run radio station broadcasting from the campus of Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. They went on the air in May, 1958 with call letters reflecting the three student founders (W) Suggs, Bolick and Fair. I first noticed the station "mascot" of a woman with a wide-brimmed hat and off-the-shoulder dress when she appeared on a sticker I received from them in the mid-1980s. "The Lady" has actually been around since 1977 when an architecture student won a logo drawing contest (as well as a pony keg of beer.)

Meghan Markle / KLSX
I came across this dumb, 1999 video of Prince Harry's future wife, Meghan Markle, spotting a Tom Leykis sticker on the back of a truck. Watch it here.
The decal she spotted was from Los Angeles's 97.1 FM KLSX which carried a Hot Talk format from 1997 until 2009. They were the flagship station of The Tom Leykis Show.
It took me a minute to figure out why I had two of the same sticker before I noticed a very small difference between these two decals.

日本のラジオステッカー
A reader asked if I could post some more of the Japanese radio stickers that I received back in 2013. Here ya go!
78.9 FM Radio Bari Bari broadcasts from Imabari, Ihime Prefecture, Japan. The station name probably comes from the city where they are located but Google says that "bari bari" can also mean "when one is full of energy" and is also an onomatopoeic word for the sound of crunching or ripping.
Kiss FM broadcasts from Kobe, Japan and is simulcast on other frequencies throughout Hyogo Prefecture.
83.5 FM originates from Takarazuka, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. For some reason, this sticker depicts Princess Sapphire, the lead character from the manga series Princess Knight which first appeared in print in 1953.
FM Port 79.0 broadcasts from the Sea of Japan port town of Niigata.
