WGHR
WGHR was the online radio station at Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta, Georgia. They began as a low-power, carrier-current AM station in the late 1960s and eventually moved to FM by the early 1980s. Terrestrial broadcasts ceased around 2003 and they moved to online only. SPSU merged with Kennesaw State University in 2015. KSU's student-run, online station is known as Owl Radio.
WBUZ
1570 AM WBUZ was on the air in Fredonia, New York from 1957 until 1991. Their FCC license renewal problems began in 1981 with the owner's alleged blatant discrimination against an African-American woman who applied to work as a secretary as well as his refusal to grant equal time to opposing views surrounding local police and public housing. A few years later the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers revoked WBUZ's license to play songs by ASCAP artists due to the owner's defaulting on royalty payments. Listeners also complained that contests were held but prizes never awarded or were kept by the owner.

KURE
88.5 FM KURE is a student-run radio station broadcasting from Iowa State University in Ames, IA. They went on the air in 1949 as KMRA and went through a host of other call letters including KMRI, KISU, KPGY and KUSR before becoming KURE in the mid-1990s. It's unclear if the station was named for the band of college radio faves with (almost) the same name or if they had nothing to do with it.
KURE has an event called Kaleidoquiz which they've held every year since 1967. KQ is a 26 hour marathon trivia contest which now encompasses scavenger hunts, murder mysteries, physical puzzles, photo/video challenges and prize giveaways all taking place while a new question is asked every 6 minutes. Teams are scattered around campus listening to KURE for trivia questions and instructions.

KISD
The 1986 Broadcasting Yearbook lists KISD as having an Adult Contemporary/MOR format. "The Music You've Learned To Love" seems like an odd slogan to me. As if you didn't like the music originally, but, over time, you've learned how to like it. KISD was licensed to Oak Harbor, Washington and was on the air from 1984 to 1987.

Bills and Bengals - WLW / WABH
This afternoon, my son and I spent about 4 hours in non-stop rain (remnants of Hurricane Nate) watching the Buffalo Bills lose to the Cincinnati Bengals 20-14. The Bills came into the game with a 3-1 record while Cincy was 1-3 but I knew Buffalo wasn't as good as they appeared and the Bengals weren't as bad. My team has exactly one productive receiver, tight end Charles Clay and he went out with an injury early in the game. LeSean McCoy can be a stunningly great running back but has been shut down in two of the Bills four games so far this season. Combine that with a inaccurate passer who scrambles better than he throws and you can only hope the improved defense keeps it close....but it wasn't to be. Still fun to go to the game as always.
The Bengals have three flagship stations in their radio network: 102.7 WEBN, ESPN 1530 WCKY and, once the Cincinnati Reds season is over, 700 WLW.

Formerly WFSR, Oldies 1380 WABH is one of about two dozen stations in the Buffalo Bills radio network.
