Radio Sticker of the Day Mailbag - Radio Centro
The mailman delivered this set of Italian radio stickers while I was away on vacation last week. Thanks Gian Carlo!!
This odd microphone-headed snake sticker from Radio Centro was a highlight of the package. Notice how the snake's body forms the frequency of the station. Tunein.com lists Radio Centro as a Top-40/Pop station from Turin, Italy broadcasting at 92.1 FM while the station's official website (still under construction but you can listen live) shows them broadcasting at 97.0 FM playing "Soft FM" music. Did they used to broadcast in the 95 FM range and moved but kept the number in their branding?
Here's a Radio Centro sticker with their current logo.

Radio Sticker of the Day Mailbag - WBEN
I recently received another package of stickers from Ricky in Indonesia. Decals from Australia, Germany, France, England and other countries were included. Thanks Ricky!!
I was quite happy to get this Buffalo Bisons sticker from 930 AM WBEN in Buffalo, New York. I'm a fan of the team and have been to a handful of games across the midwest and in Buffalo itself. Their jersey is being worn in my "About Me" Blogspot profile picture. GO BISONS!!
