Energy/NRJ plays Contemporary Hit Music in Helsinki, Finland.  Their website makes no mention of the 96.8 FM frequency.  It's unclear if they still broadcast there or if Finland, like their neighbor Norway, has dropped FM and converted completely to Digital Audio Broadcasting.

Actual Sticker Sighting - KITS

I saw this bumper sticker while in California.  While I don't have this particular decal from San Francisco's "Live 105" KITS, I do have thirteen others from this long-time Alternative Rock station.


Before they became a Modern Rock station, KITS carried a tight-playlisted, "Hot Hits" CHR format from 1983 until around 1985.

The Alex on the sticker refers to DJ Alex Bennett who did mornings at "Live 105".







This sticker is circa 2001 when it appears KITS had an Active Rock format including Metal and Hip Hop.
