... that Oklahoma radio station KRMC dropped its
all-news radio format in part because management felt it did not work for a daytime-only station? Source:

Oh hey Raymie. The article was new enough when nommed, and seems to be long enough but still has a stub tag - if this could be removed that would fix that problem. The hook seems interesting, but the issue is that it uses a different station name. This is explained in the article, but won't be evident for readers on the main page. Is there something else you could propose?

I think the difference with most of those is that the other call signs are in the lead - here it isn't, so the reader may think they've gone to the wrong article. Perhaps add KRMC in the lead?

Kingsif: Typically we don't put prior call signs in the lead unless they were hugely significant in the station's history (ex. KWKW with KFAC, KNKL (FM) with KWCR-FM). That just isn't the case with KRMC.
