KHOM

KHOM began in 1989 as an Oldies station until 1994 when it flipped to Top 40 as Mix 104.1. A slew of format and call letter changes occurred over the next decade including Classic Rock as KFXN "The Fox", adult-leaning Top 40 KSTE "KISS FM", Gospel KHEV "Hallelujah 104.1." and, for the next few minutes, KYRK "The Rock of New Orleans." KHOM was licensed to Houma, Louisiana.

CFTR




Toronto's CHFI 1540 AM was a Beautiful Music station beginning in the early 1960s. By 1971 they had moved down the dial to 680 AM and changed their call letters to CFTR--a tribute to Ted Rogers, Sr., a Canadian radio pioneer. CFTR was a legendary Top 40 station throughout most of the 70s and 80s before switching to all News in 1993.

KQNG

KQNG is a combo CHR on FM and News/Talk on AM. Both are licensed to Lihue on the island of Kauai in Hawaii which is also where the 1976 version of King Kong was filmed. Any idea what the phrase at the top of the sticker translates to?
