Radio KLA
Radio KLA broadcasts at 91.7 FM to the coastal resort city of Mar del Plata in east/central Argentina. The following was copied off their website and run through Google Translate:
"KLA characters have their own life, self-esteem, are beings unleashed ideas, some strange. With music. Our music.
Every day for more than 10 years, from Mar del Plata, we emit a radio signal to all horizons.
news programs, magazines, humor, scholars in science, politics, soccer and religion, music fans, islanders, urban, surfers, stoners, lysergic, lefties, gorillas, Radicals and Peronists, merge under the same musical theme on Radio KLA.
91.7 Rock Radio KLA and Opinion."
They also broadcast at 104.7 FM to the beach towns of Carilo, Pinamar and Villa Gesell which are further up the coast from Mar del Plata.

WMSP
"Sports Radio 740" WMSP is licensed to Montgomery, Alabama. They have carried a Sports talk format since 1995.
I can only assume that The Phantom is or was a show host on WMSP. The only hit that Google comes up with are some "Phantom Premium" football picks from 2012. He also looks a lot more like The Invisible Man than the purple costumed Phantom.

Super Bowl 50
Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California is the site for tonight's Super Bowl which pits the Carolina Panthers againts the Denver Broncos. I'll be rooting for the Panthers because free safety Kurt Coleman is a local kid and because they are one of the 13 franchises that has never won the Lombardi Trophy.
News/Talk 1110 AM WBT is the flagship station of the Carolina Panthers radio network. This temporary tattoo features the team logo that was used from their inception in 1995 until 2011.
1280 AM KBNO is a Regional Mexican station in Denver, Colorado. At one time they carried Broncos games in Spanish but no longer appear on the list of team radio affiliates.
