WMPS

A 1981 sticker from WMPS (W Memphis Press-Scimitar, a local newspaper and early owner) in Memphis, Tennessee. WMPS carried a Country format from 1978 to 1983.
Prior to this they were a Top-40 station whose alumni included Rick Dees. Dees pioneered the radio morning show with its mix of music, news, talk and comedy with his "Cast of Idiots." In 1976, his awful song "Disco Duck" hit #1 and sold more than six million copies although he wasn't allowed to play it on his own show due to a "conflict of interest." Dees soon bailed to crosstown rival WHBQ before hitting the road to Los Angeles and a 22 year run at KIIS-FM.

Radio Sticker of the Day Mailbag - CKAC

I always look forward to getting stickers in the repurposed CKNW envelope from Dan in British Columbia. Dan and I have probably been trading radio stickers for about 10 years...although lately I have been on the receiving end more than the giving. It only took a week and a half to arrive which means that customs must not have gotten involved this time. Among other goodies sent was this 1979 beauty from Montreal, Quebec's CKAC.

730 AM CKAC became the first French-language radio station in the world when it went on the air in 1922. Since 2007 they had been a Sports station but switched to a Traffic Information format known as "Radio Circulation" in September, 2011.

Radio Sticker of the Day Mailbag

Maybe it's because I work for the United States Postal Service but I love mail. Which makes it nice that my little hobby is dependent on mail received from radio stations, fellow sticker collectors and readers of this blog. You never know what's going to be in that box when you open it up. Today I received two stickers via registered letter from a fellow in Venezuela who also collects radio decals. Thanks for sending them! I'll be mailing you some in return very soon.

I could find no information about Radio Internacional other than that it is/was from Venezuela. Maybe the person who sent it could offer some background about this station?
