Radio Nordschwaben
Radio Nordschwaben once broadcast from Nördlingen in southern Germany. 95.6 FM is now part of the RT1 media group.
The medieval city of Nördlingen is built entirely inside a massive depression that was formed when a meteor struck around 14 million years ago. It wasn't until 1960 that anyone knew that the town was on top of what is now called the Ries Crater. The stone in the city is at least partially made up of millions of microscopic diamonds which were formed by the impact of the meteor. Nördlingen is also entirely surrounded by a wall which was started in the 14th century. The sticker depicts the area's distinctive fachwerk buildings as well as the bell tower of St. George's church.

WDCR
Dartmouth College's WDCR began broadcasting in 1958 and was the oldest college radio station in New Hampshire. Radio at Dartmouth dates back even further with an AM station as early as 1924 and a carrier-current station in the early 1940s. WDCR ceased operations in 2008 (although they briefly went back on the air in the summer of 2009 just to keep its FCC license alive) but went away for good in 2010. Dartmouth radio continues on FM with WFRD and on the internet with webDCR.
