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.

Happy 4th of July!

Although this station is from Munich, Germany, it seems entirely appropriate to use it for today's post.  The 4th of July is our country's birthday and any town worth its salt will be having a fireworks display to celebrate this all-American holiday.  Unfortunately, it turns out that "feierwerk" doesn't translate to "firework" like I thought it did.  The German word for firework is actually feuerwerk and, according to GoogleTranslate, feierwerk means "celebration factory."  Oh well, I already scanned the stickers so here they are....

Radio Feierwerk only broadcasts on weekends and shares the 92.4 FM frequency with three other stations.  Programming is aimed at those under 30 including music, art, education, politics and social issues.
