Actual Sticker Sighting #7 - WDEO

I saw this sticker on a car heading north on Interstate 75 yesterday. WDEO is a Religious station licensed to Ypsilanti, Michigan. In 1998 Domino's Pizza owner Tom Monaghan sold his chain of restaurants and used part of the fortune to buy WWCM which was then a Contemporary Christian station. Monaghan flipped it to WDEO and changed the format to a Catholic-based teaching/talk station.

CHUB



"Big 105.5 FM" CHUB is a Hot Adult Contemporary station licensed to Red Deer, Alberta. The station moved to the FM dial in 2000 after having been at 700 AM with the call letters CKRD. It's unclear if there's a connection between the CHUB call letters and the "Big" branding or if they just love their fat listeners. Two more obese stickers can be seen here.
