KBIU

KBIU ("K-Bayou") seems to have had a few formats after switching from AOR as "Nova 104" KGRA in 1981. I've found aircheck websites listing them variously as Top-40, Rock 40, Classic Rock and Hot AC. KBIU was located at 103.7 FM and licensed to Lake Charles, Louisiana. KBIU is currently a Jack FM Adult Hits station at 103.3 FM with the same city of license.

Boxing Day

The day after Christmas is Boxing Day which is a public holiday in many countries. Traditionally, it is a day to open the "Christmas Box" and share its contents with the poor and less fortunate. Sometimes workers such as mail carriers and paperboys will receive money from households or employees might get a Christmas bonus from their bosses. In some places Boxing Day has become a huge shopping day similar to the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. America doesn't celebrate Boxing Day because we hate poor people it's a British thing and we wouldn't understand.

"97.9 The Box" KBXX is a Mainstream Urban/Hip-Hop in Houston, Texas.

Hey! Radio Sticker of the Day turns one year old today! A different daily radio sticker without missing a single day (OK, that's a lie. Somehow I skipped December 21st...must have been delirious from working a crapload of overtime and forgot.) On we go to year number two!

Merry Christmas!!


This tough-to-see white-on-clear decal (click it to barely see it better) is from WAKW in Cincinnati, Ohio. "Star 93.3 FM" was the first station in the country to go to an all-Christmas format this year which they did way back on October 27th. WAKW is normally a Christian Contemporary station but they mixed secular tunes together with religious holiday songs in their two-month slog towards the Big Day. The 24/7 Xmas music is usually a ratings booster for stations across the country.

A few older WAKW stickers:

Colo's Birthday

Today marks the birthday of Colo, the first gorilla in the world to be born in captivity. She was born in 1956 at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio where she still resides. 

UPDATE: Colo passed away in 2017 at age 60 :-(

97.9 FM WNCI is a CHR station in Columbus, Ohio. It's unknown whether the cartoon primate is supposed to be Colo or if it's just coincidence that a world-famous gorilla lives in the same city. Here's another WNCI sticker from when they were owned by (W) Nationwide Communications Incorporation. The 175,000-watt (!) station is currently owned by iHeartMedia.

KMEC

KMEC is a 75-watt low-power FM station licensed to Ukiah, California. It's part of the Mendocino Environmental Center which "works through educational outreach, nonviolent direct action and the legal system to uphold and promote environmental and social justice in Mendocino County and beyond." This odd sticker looks like something out of a children's coloring book and almost begs to be filled in with a few magic markers.
