Radio Ostbayern
I had a hard time finding much info on this either defunct or renamed station. The old-style "BR" logo lets me know it was part of Bayerischer Rundfunk, the public service radio and TV broadcaster based in Munich, Germany. If you have any further info on what became of Radio Ostbayern, leave a comment.

The "KISN" branding was a tribute to a Top-40 station in Portland that broadcast at 910 AM and used those call letters from 1959 to 1976. The video below is news coverage of the re-launched KISN/KKSN in 1988. At that time they also broadcast on 910 AM, the original frequency of the first KISN. Currently, there is a low-power Oldies outlet with the KISN calls airing at 95.1 FM which uses the logo of the original station.
