WHTT







104.1 FM WHTT is a Classic Hits station in Buffalo, New York.  The name "Classic Hits" was not widely used when they switched to that branding from the Top-40 of WNYS back in 1986.  Now, "Classic Hits" stations are everywhere and, in fact, that's what they once again call themselves after going by "Oldies 104" for a period in the 1990s and early 2000s.

XETRA












XETRA "91X" has been an Alternative Rock station in San Diego, California since 1983.  They are licensed across the border to Tijuana, Mexico.  XETRA airs the Mexican national anthem twice a day as well as La Hora Nacional, a one hour program that airs on every Mexican radio station at 10 PM on Sundays.



This chance that this license plate is referring to XETRA is pretty slim but my radio nerd mind would like to think it is.

KGRG

89.9 FM KGRG is the student-run radio station of Green River College in Auburn, Washington.

Sister station 1330 AM KGRG airs a Classic Alternative format.  It appears that they are running this station almost as an online-only outlet as there is no mention of an AM frequency to be found on their website.

1340 AM WTYS is a Classic Country station in Marianna, Florida.  My best guess is that this sticker dates to the mid-1970s.  Various Broadcasting Yearbooks from that decade list WTYS as having a C&W format indicating that they've been a Country station for the better part of five decades.
