Radio Beijing
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing, China. Anti-government protesters had been meeting in the square for seven weeks, initially to mourn the death of pro-democracy, anti-corruption official Hu Yaobang. On June 4th, 1989 the Chinese military took action to clear the square and began firing assault rifles from armored personnel carriers into the crowds. No one knows for sure how many died--the official Chinese number was 186 but estimates from other sources go as high as 10,000.
Radio Beijing is the former name of China Radio International which is that country's external radio service. It covers the world using more than 50 shortwave transmitters. 1120 AM WUST in Washington, DC and 1540 AM WNWR in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania also carry English-language CRI programming.

KRYS
Not sure what the format was for KRYS-AM but the current KRYS-FM in Corpus Christi, Texas is Country so there's a good chance the AM was as well. It was a Radio Disney outlet long after this sticker was printed which has a 1970s look to it. 1360 AM is now KKTX, a News/Talk station.
EDIT: 15 years after originally posting this I received a KRYS music survey in the form of a 45 rpm record sleeve. The chart confirms what many have already said in the comments, that KRYS was a Pop/Top-40 station...at least in 1978.

KMEZ


KMEZ was an Urban Adult Contemporary station licensed to Belle Chase, Louisiana. In 2008 they began simulcasting on their sister station KKND which dropped its Country format. KKND then became Hip-Hop "Power 102.9" to challenge WQUE, another Rap/Urban station in the New Orleans market. The KMEZ calls and Old School R&B format now reside at 106.7 FM licensed to Port Sulphur, LA.

WHAT
AM 1340 WHAT has been broadcasting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania since the mid 1920s. From the 1960s through the early 1980s they carried an R&B/Soul format and for awhile they were an Urban Talk station.

Starting in January, 2007 they became "Skin Radio" playing a blend of Alternative, Indie, Hip-Hop and Reggae as well as poetry readings and local music. It lasted less than eight months and by September they dropped it in favor of Adult Standards and changed their branding to "Martini Lounge Radio". They began this new format by playing nothing but Frank Sinatra music for a full month.

WHEN
AM 620 WHEN is currently a Sports Talk station licensed to Syracuse, New York.
In the late 1970s and early 80s the then music-based WHEN carried out one of the most successful bumper sticker campaigns in the history of radio. This sticker resembles the style of New York license plates which were in use from 1973-1986.
This one resembles the type of New York license plate used from 1986 until 2000.
