Not sure when this sticker from Knoxville, Tennessee's WRJZ dates from. In the late 1970s they were a Top-40 station but would later switch around to Country, Adult Contemporary and Oldies. "Big Orange" is a nickname of The University of Tennessee sports programs and their rabid fans. WRJZ is currently a Religious Teaching station known as "Joy 620."A daily look into one of the world's largest collections of radio station bumper stickers and memorabilia.

National Lobster Day
Today is National Lobster Day.
That may very well be a crayfish but for the purposes of today's post I'll say it's a lobster. Crayfish don't grow that big do they? KVPI played Cajun/Zydeco music but it's not clear if their entire format consisted of that regional style.
KVPI is now an Oldies station but I noticed in their programming schedule that they still carry "French News" and "French Tradio." KVPI is licensed to Ville Platte, Louisiana.

Dr. Demento Goes Off The Air
Dr. Demento, whose weekly radio show of novelty and comedy songs has been on the air for almost 40 years, is leaving terrestrial radio. I remember listening to him on Sunday nights in the early 1980s. His song choices were always a topic of discussion on the school bus the next morning. Dr. Demento (aka Barret Hansen) started out in radio at Reed College's KRRC in Portland, Oregon. He developed the Dr. Demento persona in 1970 at KPPC in Pasadena, California. He would later move on to other Los Angeles-area stations including KMET, KLSX and KSCA. By 1974 his two-hour show became syndicated and was eventually heard in most major markets, usually on FM rock stations. Most recently the show was only heard on six stations.....but, "by special agreement and due to contractual considerations" a version of Demento's continuing internet show will be heard on 89.9 FM KACV through the summer.
KACV is an Alternative station broadcasting from Amarillo College in Amarillo, Texas.
