KRKY

1550 AM KRKY used to be on the air in Winfield, Kansas.  That's about all I know.  Various Broadcasting Yearbooks from the 1970s through the 2000s list AM 1550 as having multiple other call letters (KNIC, KVFW, KKLE) but I haven't been able to pinpoint when KRKY existed or their format.  If you happen to know, leave a comment.  I don't really feel like looking through every Yearbook trying to find out.  There's a coupon for Ken's Pizza on the back if that helps any Winfieldians who happen to read this--no expiration date unfortunately.

KNFO

KNFO existed in Waco, Texas from 1980 until 1993, many of those years as a Country station.  I'm not sure what's going on with the shape of the state of Texas shown on this sticker.  It appears a little fat in the east like they annexed parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.

1150 AM CKSA began broadcasting from Lloydminster, Alberta and Saskatchewan in April 1957.  They moved to 1080 AM in 1965 and shifted to 95.9 FM in 2003.  Lloydminster is unique because it is split down the middle by the provincial border of Saskatchewan and Alberta (which is represented by the SA in their call letters.)  The shape of Alberta is cleverly hidden in the bottom sticker just below the horizontal line in the letter A.
