A magnet from WOOD, a News/Talker in Grand Rapids, Michigan which went on the air in 1924 as WEBK. The station's original owners we backed by the Furniture Manufacturers Association of Grand Rapids who suggested a call letter change to WOOD in 1926. The station's mascot is Willie Wood, a cartoon woodpecker who's been in use since 1951. You can see Willie at the station's website.
Longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Mike Wallace got his first job in broadcasting at WOOD in 1939. He passed away yesterday at age 93.
A daily look into one of the world's largest collections of radio station bumper stickers and memorabilia.

Foxes
"107.3 The Fox" KLFX is an Active Rock station licensed to Nolanville, Texas.
"101.3 The Fox" WCUZ was a Classic Rock station in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They've since added more new rock to their playlist and changed calls to WBFX to better align with the "Fox" imaging.
"106.9 The Fox" WAFX is a Classic Hits station licensed to Suffolk, Virginia.

Dart on Map - KAXE
Today's random dart landed in northern Minnesota between the towns of Swan River and Floodwood near US Route 2.
The closest radio sticker that I have is from 91.7 KAXE licensed to nearby Grand Rapids, MN.
91.7 FM KAXE (a nod to the areas logging tradition?) is a community-based station that first went on the air in 1976. While they are a member of National Public Radio, much of their programming comes from volunteers. They have two translators--89.5 K210DR in Brainerd and 105.3 K287AD in Bemidji.
