WLOL

I recently saw a personalized license plate that said "WLOL" and immediately thought of the now-defunct CHR station from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I took a picture of the plate but I hesitate to post it cuz it's probably illegal without the permission of the owner.

Aw, screw it...here it is.




WLOL (W Land Of Lakes) was a massively popular Top-40 station in the Twin Cities from 1981 until 1991. A bunch of classic WLOL airchecks and videos can be found here. 99.5 FM is now KSJN, the flagship station of Minnesota Public Radio's classical music network.
