Interstate Signs

The Interstate Highway system (official name: The Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways) consists of over 46,000 miles of roadway serving nearly every major U.S. city. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) developed a detailed highway numbering system in the 1950s. West-east highways are assigned even numbers and south-north highways are given odd numbers. Numbers generally increase from west to east and south to north. There are also rules about one, two and three digit highway numbers, business routes and shared roadway between two interstates. Interstate signage consists of red, white and blue shields which AASHTO has actually copyrighted but that didn't stop these three radio stations from using the design for their stickers.

Stars

A few stickers and a keychain from "Star" branded stations, a name so stunningly boring it makes "Mix" stations look exciting by comparison. It's the radio equivalent of naming your dog Spot. My records show that I have 60 stickers from "Star" stations...here are three of them:

CFSR is an Adult Contemporary station licensed to Abbotsford, British Columbia. It's a repeater station of 98.3 CKSR from nearby Chilliwack, BC.


KIOI is a Hot Adult Contemporary station from San Francisco, California. Around 2001 "Star 101.3" had an 80s emphasis in their playlist but they're now a traditional Hot AC outlet. The KIOI call letters come from their 101 position on the radio dial.

WBAM was a Top-40 station from Montgomery, (W) AlaBAMa. They're currently a Country station known as "Bama Country 98.9" with the same call letters.
