Radio Bielefeld
Radio Bielefeld is a private, local broadcaster based in Bielefeld, Germany. Dornberg, Brackwede, Senne, Jöllenbeck and Sennestadt are all local areas or city-districts within Bielefeld. This decal set was part of a 2004 "stick it and win" contest. Pretty impressive given that Bielefeld as a city doesn't even exist.

KSUT
KSUT (K Southern Ute Tribe) is a non-commercial, public radio station located at 91.3 FM in Ignacio, Colorado. They first went on the air in 1976 with 10 watts and programming to serve the Southern Ute Indian Reservation including Ute language and cultural shows and Native American music. After a signal strength increase in the mid-1980s, KSUT evolved into a more traditional public radio station, joining NPR and becoming known as Four Corners Public Radio (the 4 corners being the geographic point where Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona meet.) In the late 1990s they split their program stream so that 4CPR continued to serve the larger regional audience while "Southern Ute Tribal Radio" went back to serving the local Native American population.

Radio Sticker of the Day Mailbag - CHTT
Yesterday my post office box was filled with the wonderful sight of a package of radio stickers and other goodies from Dan in British Columbia. Thanks again my friend!
Along with the stickers were these fantastic postage stamps featuring Canadian recording artists. The Guess Who and recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Rush have had major success in the US and get regular rotation on Classic Rock stations. The Tragically Hip are tragically unknown in the States except in border cities like Detroit and Buffalo while Beau Dommage's popularity was mainly centered in Quebec. As a postal employee, a former stamp collector, a fan of rock and roll and all things Canadian, I love that Canada Post has decided to hono(u)r these deserving bands.
A brand new sticker from a station that surely plays at least three of the four bands pictured above is CHTT "103.1 Jack FM" licensed to Victoria, British Columbia. They've carried the Adult Hits "Jack FM" format since 2004.
