1. Well-written
2. Verifiable
3. Broad in coverage
4. Neutral
5. Stable - You're literally the only user who's edited this article, definitely stable.
6. Illustrated if possible
Infobox A lot of the statements in the infobox are not sourced either in the infobox or in the main body of the text - ERP, HAAT, Class, Facility ID, coordinates, and the call sign meaning. These statements need verification and should either be cited in the main article text or in the infobox.
General formatting note Citations should be outside of the punctuation, including parenthesis. There are several instances of the citation between the period and the close parenthesis.
KUCB in the mid-80s Central Iowa Regional Association of Local Governments is a redlink. Is this organization likely to pass GNG? If so, you can leave the redlink in to encourage article creation, but I'd recommend removal if this organization is not likely to ever get an article.
Plunge into silence "Al Saladin [...] was shown the door." The phrase "shown the door" is not a universal idiom, and should probably be replaced with a more literal description of what happened (fired, asked to resign, etc. depending on the circumstance) because not all of our readers will be from regions where this idiom will be understood. This is not the only instance of the idiom.
The sentence beginning "In November, Jamal Akil (aka Jamal Long) ..." makes some specific claims, but does not have a citation. It's acceptable if the citation at the end of the next sentence is intended to cover both statements, but if not, a citation needs to be added.
Paragraph beginning "However, by May 1987, KUCB-FM had gone off the air ..." Same concerns as above, does the citation at the end of the paragraph cover the entire paragraph?
License renewal fight Statement that "as a convicted felon, he was now unfit to hold a broadcast license" needs a citation. That seems pretty common sense, but this should still be verified.
"In testimony that August, Abdul-Samad and Long claimed that KUCB-FM had been sabotaged throughout its time off air and after a falling out with Nevilles, who criticized the station within the Des Moines black community; however, their memories were not as clear as to when they learned of Knox's felon status and whether documents sent to the FCC about the station's ownership were accurate, and lawyers for the FCC argued that KUCB-FM had broadcast appeals for Knox's legal defense fund and had discussed his conviction on a station call-in show.[39]" - This sentence is about 80-90 words long, I'd recommend breaking it up into two or three sentences for readability purposes.
References - Newspapers.com should be listed to some extent in the citations. See Flag of Spokane, Washington as a recently-passed GA using Newspapers.com for clipping citations.
Okay, that's about it I think. There's some statements you're gonna need to add citations to, a couple idiom-related rewordings, and some moving around of punctuation, but not much beyond that. Overall, great job! Hog Farm ( talk) 21:49, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
