Prairie Public Radio
Prairie Public Radio is a network of 10 stations and 8 translators throughout North Dakota as well as parts of Minnesota and Montana. There are two main programming services on PPR. The News and Classical network is carried on most stations and originates from KCND in Bismarck. The Roots, Rock and Jazz network carries Adult Album Alternative programming.
This dual sticker is from 1370 AM KUND in Grand Forks and 90.7 FM KFJM which is where the Roots, Rock and Jazz network originates from. KUND-AM was sold in 2004 and is now a Catholic Religious station KWTL. Prairie Public Radio has gone through a couple of name changes. They were known as Northern Lights Public Radio starting in the 1970s and later changed to North Dakota Public Radio before become Prairie Public Radio in 2006.

WELO
580 AM WELO is an Adult Standards station in (W) TupELO, Mississippi. They carried a Country & Western format at the time this sticker was printed.
Elvis Presley grew up listening to WELO. In 1945 at age 10, he performed live on the station in a youth talent contest. Elvis came in second place and won $5.00 and free admission to the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show. He would later appear on WELO as part of the weekly music jamborees hosted by Mississippi Slim.

KLTC
1460 AM KLTC (Keep Lovin' Thy Country) began broadcasting on July 4th, 1978 in Dickinson, North Dakota. They carry a Classic Country format.
ERT
Using Google Image, I think I finally figured out that this sticker is from ERT which, until the government shut it down in 2013, was Greece's state-owned public radio and television company.
Here's a video of people milling around in front of an ERT building followed by someone being interviewed. Perhaps these are some of the employees who were laid off en masse protesting their firing?

Mystery Sticker - Big Dog 94.5
Can anyone identify this sticker? 94.5 KRUF in Shreveport, Louisiana used to be known as "Big Dog" but I can't positively say this is their decal.

Radio Contact
Radio Contact is a Contemporary Hit station based in Brussels, Belgium.
I'm not sure the above sticker is actually from Radio Contact. I received it with a pack of other European radio decals and someone wrote "Francois" on the back. Radio Contact started broadcasting in 1980 which might explain the number on the sticker. Anybody know?
