Radio Chanson
Radio Chanson 101.0 FM broadcasts from Samara, Russia. Chanson is a Russian musical genre including "city romance songs, author song performed by singer-songwriters and blatnaya pesnya or "criminals' songs" that are based on the themes of the urban underclass and the criminal underworld." Radio Chanson is heard on dozens of simulcast frequencies around the country. I listened live and Shazamed the first song I heard. Here it is for your listening (and viewing) pleasure.
EDIT: OK, it's not the same exact song (I got my cyrillic letters messed up) but it is the same artist and sounds pretty much like the one I heard.

WREK
91.1 FM WREK is the student-run radio station broadcasting from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. They went on the air in 1968 with a ten-watt signal and studio equipment donated by Nashville's WSM. They now pump out an astounding (for a college station) 100,000-watts giving them coverage across the entire Atlanta metro area. The WREK call letters are a direct reference to the Ramblin' Wreck, a 1930 Ford Model A Sport Coupe which has led Georgia Tech's football team onto the field for every home game since 1961.

WNFZ
94.3 FM in Knoxville, Tennessee became an Alternative Rock station in July 1994 with new call letters WNFZ. Except for a brief time as a Talk station around 2013, they were either an Alternative or Active Rock station until 2019 when they flipped to Adult Hits as "Jack FM." I'm not 100% sure that the top sticker was printed when they had the call letters WNFZ or WKNF. WNFZ would make more sense given the "94Z" branding but it's hard to say. If you know, leave a comment.
