Radio Citys
Three unrelated (probably) Italian stations that go by the name "Radio City".
Radio City FM 88 in Milan, Italy was on the air from 1975 until 1990.
Founded in 1975 as Radio Vega Schio, they took the name Radio City FM in the 1980s before merging with Radio Antenna Uno in 1996 to become RCA Radio City Antenna Uno. Possibly defunct.
Radio City - Castelletto d'Orba, Italy
More "Radio City" station stickers can be seen here. And here.

WESO

The top sticker dates to when they carried a Country format. In 2005, a feud between WESO's new general manager, Dick Vaughn, and his predecessor, Joe Grivalski, resulted in Grivalski walking out and taking the station's music library with him. They were left with dead air for a time before their satellite-fed Classic Country went back on the air.
