Mystery Oldies Keychains
St. Louis, Missouri's KLOU seems to be the only current "Oldies 103.3" in existence. WODS in Boston, Massachusetts flipped from "Oldies 103.3" to Top-40 "Amp Radio" last year. Does anyone know if either of those outlets used this logo or if it's from some other defunct station?
KLTH in Portland, Oregon and WPWQ in Mount Sterling, Illinois are currently both known as "Oldies 106.7" If anyone can positively identify this keychain, I will give you one bazillion dollars.

WSWO plays songs from the 50s, 60s and 70s including many that are not typically heard on commercial oldies stations. Bill Glover is a DJ heard on Tuesdays from 3-7.

Mystery Keychain - Double Q
This keychain is either from WHQQ or WNQQ but the writing is so tiny that it is barely (or should I say "bearly") visible. I can see that it says "Double Q 92.1" but Googling hasn't solved this mystery completely. There is no station currently using the WNQQ call letters. WHQQ is "The Game,"a Sports station at 98.9 FM licensed to Neoga, Illinois. They are owned by the Cromwell Radio Group which owns 14 stations in Illinois. One of these stations is WWGO "92.1 The Axe," a Classic Rock station licensed to Charleston, IL. Wikipedia's entry for WWGO says that they are owned by "WHQQ, Inc." My guess is that WWGO used to be WHQQ. Anyone know if this is the case or what their format was?
UPDATE: Mystery solved. See comment. Thanks Tybois!
