WKBW

 




Buffalo, NewYork's WKBW went on the air in October 1926.  The 50,000-watt clear channel station was a powerhouse Top-40 from 1958 until 1981.  Their signal could be heard across the entire eastern United States at night.  Subsequent formats included Adult Contemporary, Oldies and Talk.  In 1986 they changed call letters to WWKB.  Another WKBW sticker can be seen here.

WFHG

980 AM WFHG was on the air in Bristol, Virginia/Tennessee from 1947 to 1992 and again from 2001 to 2017.  I'm going to guess that "Gold Rush" means that they carried an Oldies format at the time this undated sticker was printed (possibly airing the same songs they played as currents on this 1969 aircheck.)

Radio Austria International


Radio Austria International/Radio Österreich International was Austria's international shortwave service operated by the national public broadcaster ORF (Österreichischer Rundfunk.)  They launched in 1955 to increase awareness of Austria in other countries.  RÖI ceased operations in 2003 due to financial reasons and presumably the rise of online broadcasting.  It was replaced by Ö1 International with transmissions on shortwave but with greatly reduced coverage and sound quality.
