KQV

1410 AM KQV (King of the Quaker Valley) has been a News station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for almost 35 years. Their history dates back to 8ZAE, an amateur station which signed on in 1919. KQV became officially licensed three years later. The AM 1410 signal was a hugely successful Top 40 station from the late 1950s, through the entire 1960s and lasting until 1975 when they switched to News. One of KQV's DJs in the 1970s was "Jeff Christie," better known today as Rush Limbaugh.

KDKA

On this date in 1920, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania's KDKA began broadcasting as the first commercial radio station in the United States. The first announcement heard were the returns from the 1920 presidential race between Warren G. Harding and James M. Cox. (Cox would later build a large newspaper and radio enterprise and died here in Dayton in 1957.)

KDKA is one of four radio stations east of the Mississippi River that use call letters beginning with K. The others are KYW in Philadelphia, KQV in Pittsburgh and KFIZ from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

Actual sticker sighting #3 - WDVE

Drove 8 hours to my grandma's house to celebrate her 90th birthday today. Just as we pulled onto the Pennsylvania Turnpike we came up on an ancient, rusted-out Ford pickup with this sticker on the tailgate:

The truck must have been at least 25 years old and it also had a Pittsburgh Penguins WDVE static sticker on the back window.

WDVE is a heritage Rock station from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The call letters are derived from "DoVE," a nod to the late 60s/early 70s "peace & love" hippie era when the station stopped simulcasting their sister station (KQV) and switched to Album Rock. They started out using an automated AOR service called "Love" which was delivered via tape. In 1970 they began using live DJs for their free-form Album Rock format. Currently WDVE would be considered a Classic Rock station.
