San Diego, California's Air America affiliate was AM 1360 KLSD (K Liberal San Diego.) It is that city's oldest radio station dating back to 1922. They've had a variety of formats over the years including Top-40, AOR, News and Adult Standards. KLSD is currently a Fox Sports Radio affiliate known as "Xtra Sports 1360." 
1980's Broadcasting Yearbook lists Aiken, South Carolina's WLOW AM as Top-40 although they were probably still an MOR station when this 1970s-era sticker came out. By 1981 they had switched calls to WKTX while WLOW FM became WPBM. After that it's a complete mystery what happened to these frequencies. There are no longer any stations licensed to Aiken at either 1300 AM or 95.9 FM although there is a WLOW at 107.9 FM further downstate in Port Royal with a Soft AC format. I also wonder if there is a story behind the carousel...or whatever that thing is. Anybody know?
WLAS was a Country station licensed to Jacksonville, North Carolina. The call letters supposedly stood for (W) Land And Sea in reference to nearby Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune which is a leader in amphibious warfare training. WLAS went on the air in 1954 and eventually went dark in 1990 before returning two years later as "Hot Talk 910." The station was sold in 1996 and most recently was airing Spanish programming with the new call letters WSRP but it appears this has gone silent as well.
WGRP AM is currently a Classic Country station licensed to GReenville, Pennsylvania. It's unclear what their format was when this sticker came out. Various Broadcasting Yearbooks from the 1970s don't list a format except to say that they carried 15 hours of Country & Western "specialty programming" per week and that WGRP FM simulcast 65% of WGRP AM's content. In 1981's Yearbook their format was listed as MOR. Around 1985 WGRP FM changed calls to WEXC and later became a Christian CHR outlet as "Freq 107." Last year they switched their branding to "Indie 107.1"
KQWC AM began as KJFJ (owned by the Daily Freeman Journal newspaper) when it first went on the air in 1950. In the early 1970s the new owners combined KJFJ with the recently acquired KQWC which was at 95.9 FM. Today KQWC AM carries a Nostalgia format known as "Magic 1570." KQWC FM moved down a notch to 95.7 FM and is currently "Q95," an AC Oldies station. Both are licensed to Webster City, Iowa.
WIRB (WIRegrass Broadcasting) was an AM/FM combo broadcasting from Enterprise, Alabama. It's unclear if they simulcast the same programming or if one was "Swingin' Country Sounds" and the other was "Pops Past and Present." The FM half is now WDJR, a Country station known as "The Big Dog 96.9" while the AM side ceased to exist altogether.
Now I’m about a third of the way through sorting them and giving each state or province their own envelope.
I’ve also found a few duplicates for trading that I didn’t know I had. One other thing I rediscovered was a series of vintage stickers that I’m guessing came out around the early 1970s for various stations around the country. Most are rectangular or square with rounded edges and brown paper backing, although a few are round or even shield shaped. They also have a feel to them similar to a patch...almost like they were made of denim (click the sticker to see the texture better.) I’ll be posting one of these classic stickers every day this week.
The DDD comes from the song I’m a Ding Dong Daddy From Dumas which was penned by bandleader and songwriter Phil Baxter in the 1920s. Shortly after World War II, KDDD went on the air and used Ding Dong as its theme song and later commissioned an artist to create the station mascot of a cartoon cowboy with microphone. Today KDDD FM is an Oldies station with a heavy local news/sports/weather emphasis. The AM side doesn't appear to have a presence on the internet but is either Country or Spanish depending on which website you believe.
This is a window sticker from Red Dragon Radio, a local, independent Top-40 station in Cardiff, Wales. They were originally known as the CBC (Cardiff Broadcasting Company) when they went on the air in 1980. In 1986 they merged with Gwent Broadcasting's troubled GB Radio to form Red Dragon.
WBGK was an Adult Album Alternative station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin circa 1986. 95.7 FM is currently WRIT, a 60s & 70s Oldies station.
WKHY (W Klassic Hits for You) is a Rock station licensed to Lafayette, Indiana. The station began in 1970 as WXUS, a Religious broadcaster at 92.7 FM. They then flipped to Adult Contemporary as "US 93" before switching to Album Oriented Rock in the mid-1980s. The late 80s saw a frequency move to 93.5 FM, a format change to Classic Hits and the new WKHY call letters. Today they're considered a Mainstream Rock station (at least according to these guys.)
WJOB is a News/Talk/Sports station licensed to Hammond, Indiana.
WNBI in nearby Park Falls is currently a Sports station affiliated with ESPN Radio. Not sure what the format was when this 1970s-era sticker came out. WNBI FM became WCQM in 1991.
WCQM is a Country music station also licensed to Park Falls, Wisconsin.
KAAY began in the early 1960s as a clear-channel Top-40 station in Little Rock, Arkansas. The night signal of "The Mighty Ten Ninety" reached from Manitoba in the north to Cuba in the south.
KIHM a Religious station licensed to Reno, Nevada. They're one of a couple dozen stations in the Immaculate Heart Radio network mostly located in California and New Mexico.
On this date in 1793, Frenchman Jean Pierre Blanchard made the first balloon ascent in North America. He took off in his hydrogen-filled craft from a prison yard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania which, at the time, was the capital of the United States. George Washington witnessed the launch and gave the non-English speaking Blanchard a letter that would introduce him wherever he landed (which ended up being Deptford Township, New Jersey.) This effectively was the first American airmail delivery.
In 1809 Blanchard had a heart attack while up in a balloon in the Netherlands. He fell out and died a few weeks later from the severe injuries. His wife Sophie died 10 years later while ballooning in Paris, the victim of a combination of highly-flamable hydrogen and fireworks.
Tampa, Florida’s WRBQ used this balloon sticker in the mid-1980s. Q105 had been a longtime CHR station in the Tampa Bay area and still uses the same logo to this day, although they now carry a Classic Hits format.
Here's a couple more WRBQ stickers:
circa 1990
This looks like it might date from the early 1980s or even late 1970s, perhaps when they were still a Rock station.
WEJM was an R&B Oldies station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1999 to 2001. "Jammin' Gold 95.7" then became "Mix 95.7" WMWX and is currently an Adult Hits outlet "Ben FM" WBEN.
KUT is a public radio station owned and operated by the University of Texas at Austin.
WVUA is the Voice of the University of Alabama. They carry an Alternative Rock format and are now known as "90.7 The Capstone."
