R.I.P. Stephen King's Radio Stations

Word came out earlier this week that Stephen King's Zone Radio Corporation will shut down all three of its radio stations in Bangor, Maine at the end of this month.  The best-selling author bought his first station in 1983 and changed the call letters to WZON after his science fiction thriller novel The Dead Zone.  King said that his decision to sell was prompted by his desire to get his business affairs in order.  Apparently the stations were never profitable and King personally made up for any monetary losses himself.  It's truly sad to see three locally owned, independent radio stations being shuttered forever.  If K-Love didn't already exist in Bangor, I'm sure they'd be swooping in to buy one or all of them.

100.3 FM WKIT is a Rock station that King bought in 1995.  The black and yellow, frequency-only sticker above has always bothered me because it's so generic (and why bother trademarking it?)  The top sticker featuring "Dougie Graves" is a perfect radio decal and as unique as the station's owner.

103.1 FM WZLO is an Adult Album Alternative station the King acquired in 2001. 

 

This plastic listener card is possibly from the late 1970s/early 1980s when it was a Top-40 station with call letters WLBZ.  Stephen King eventually bought them in 1983 and changed the call letters to WZON.  Various formats followed including Rock, Talk, Sports, Progressive Talk and currently Oldies.  They were even a non-commercial, listener-supported station for a time.  A sticker from their Sports format days can be seen here.  Another from their time as "The Pulse" can be seen here. 

CKRH

98.5 FM CKRH is a French-language community radio station in Halifax, Nova Scotia.  They were founded in 1997 and are currently branded as "C98."
 

WYMJ

"Oldies 104" was on the air in Dayton, Ohio from around 1989 to 1992.  They would eventually become Alternative Rock WXEG and are currently Country-formatted WZDA.  WYMJ was licensed to Beavercreek, OH.  I found this magnet on the side of an ancient cabinet at work.  I love it when I find random radio items in the wild.

1330 AM KLBS and 96.1 FM KSQQ both broadcast in Portuguese and cover much of California's San Joaquin Valley.  KLBS is licensed to Los Banos and KSQQ is licensed to Morgan Hill near San Jose.  A similar looking sticker from a former sister station KRVE can be seen here.

KLOM

1330 AM KLOM was a Top-40 station in (K) LOMpoc, California circa the early 1980s.  I'm almost certain that this is the exact same slogan and logo that San Diego's KGB-AM was using around the same time.  This sticker's backing has a local coupon that confirms it was from KLOM.

  

The KGB decal I have is smaller and blank on the back.  Click here to see it at the bottom of the posting.  You can also see the similar font and color scheme on the KGB van in the top photo of that entry.

 

EDIT: The notes included with the video below (written by the guy heard on the aircheck) says that KLOM "stole the 13K logo" from KGB in San Diego.
