This sticker has been difficult to identify. Someone wrote KKCS and KXXX on the back of it but I think it's actually from KXXV. The decal is definitely from Colorado Springs, Colorado. I found an April, 1979
newspaper article mentioning "15KX" and their seven-story hot air balloon where on Easter they dropped KX eggs with money and bumper stickers in them (probably the above sticker.) The article also mentions their "No Bee Gees Weekend" as well as the station-sponsored "We Protest KX Refusing to Play the Bee Gees" protest. The Broadcasting Yearbook from that same year lists 1530 AM as having the call letters KXXV. In 1978 they were KRYT and '80, '81 and '82 they were KKCS so the KXXV calls match the "15KX" branding better. Anybody know for sure what the call letters of this sticker was? Leave a comment and more importantly email me at radiodecals@gmail.com. The comments on this blog have changed and I'm not positive that I'm notified any more when a comment is left.
UPDATE: This decal is indeed from KXXV "on the disco side of your dial." Thanks for the confirmation Joel and Christopher!

Based on this newspaper article, it appears that 1530 in Colorado Springs was indeed "15KX". Seems the station known as "Disco 153" the year before didn't want to play the Gibbs that weekend!
