The Eagles take on the Cardinals this Sunday in Glendale, Arizona for the NFC Championship. WYSP ("Your Station in Philadelphia") is the flagship station of the Eagles Radio Network. KTAR ("Keep Taking the Arizona Republic") is the radio flagship of the Cardinals as well as the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks.
One of the first stickers I ever got was a black & white WRIF decal. I went to the library and found a book that listed radio station formats and mailing addresses. Unfortunately it was 1986 and the book was from 1976 so many of the self-addressed stamped envelopes I mailed out came back Return to Sender because the stations moved or no longer existed for whatever reason. WRIF sent about a dozen of their classic racetrack-shaped stickers which I promptly used to decorate the inside of my high school locker and book covers. After one of the covers got worn out I chucked it in the trash. I guess somebody else liked it because a few days later I saw it covering someone else’s book. I wanted to ask the kid if he enjoyed picking through trash cans for his book covers but never did.

This Froggy 101 sticker can be seen on Dwight Schrute's filing cabinet every week on NBC's "The Office." It's an actual country station licensed to Scranton, Pennsylvania at 101.3 and simulcast at 95.9 licensed to Benton, PA. There are quite a few Froggy stations across the country with the same grinning frog logo. Many of them are guilty of making their DJs use absurd frog-related names like David Hopperfield, Anne Phibian and Lilly Pad. Ridiculous!
This 1956 sticker from Seneca, South Carolina is probably the oldest in my collection. As you can tell from the quote at the top, it wasn't meant to be stuck to a car bumper but rather to a shop owners door (I'm guessing.) Notice the old-timey use of the KC (kilocycles) abbreviation instead of AM. The back of the sticker says it was printed by the National Decalcomania Corp. in Philadelphia. Decalcomania is also the name of a club for people who collect radio stickers, airchecks and memorabilia.
This may be from WLVG in Center Moriches, New York but I'm not sure. That station goes by "Love 96.1" and have a similar "scribbled" heart logo. http://www.love961.com
Construction on the Golden Gate Bridge was started on this day in 1933. It is painted an orange vermilion color called "international orange" which helps enhance the bridge's visibilty in fog. KFAX is a Christian station licensed to San Francisco.
1340 AM WTRN is a full-service Adult Contemporary station in Tyrone, Pennsylvania. They went on the air in 1955 and may or may not still love your children.
Best. Station. Slogan. Ever. 95bFM is the student radio station from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. A sticker request from Dan in Vancouver.
