Prior to spinning Oldies KKFG was a Country station known as "K-FROG." At least I'm guessing it was Country since the toad is sporting a cowboy hat and every "Frog" station I know of carries that format.

KKCR

For reasons too complicated to bore you with, I temporarily no longer have easy access to my sticker collection. Knowing this, I grabbed a random handful of stickers (alphabetized by call letter, naturally) which will make up the content of this blog for the next few weeks. We'll begin with Hawaii's KKCR.

KKCR (Kauaʻi Community Radio) broadcasts a variety of block programming including Hawaiian, Blues, Jazz, Reggae and Classical. The idea for KKCR began after a hurricane slammed into the Hawaiian island of Kauaʻi in 1992. A group of islanders decided to start a radio station for local residents that could withstand severe weather conditions and provide emergency information. KKCR is licensed to Hanalei, Hawaii.

Heavy Metal Parking Lot

Heavy Metal Parking Lot is a brief time-capsule of mid-1980s wasted youth. The made-for-public-access-TV documentary captures various heshers tailgating before a Judas Priest concert at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland. It's a simple concept but hugely entertaining to watch. Tons of Chevy Camaros, shirtless dudes and drunken rambling. Ah...it was a better, simpler time. Check out this clip of a DC/101 fan doing his best Rob Halford impression featuring hair that was long out of fashion even in 1986.

You can view the entire 16 minute movie here.

WWDC "DC101" is an Active Rock station from Washington D.C. These stickers have their current logo which they've been using since at least 2004. They were a straight-ahead Album Rock station when Heavy Metal Parking Lot came out in 1986.
