Should someone fix the bad cut-and-paste type move to here from WXTM? I don't have the guts to do anything about it except write this request... -- WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 17:52, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
For the first time in a long time Cleveland finally got a radio station that played great alternative music. Now the radio station changed from 92.3 X-treme to K-Rock which is now modern rock. I have a feeling that this new station will be going down hill because it is under new management. Only time will tell. I now find myself listening to WMMS more because of the music they play.
--Wanting 92.3 X-treme back.
Whoever did this moving of call letters did it completely wrong. This article has lost it's history too. IrisKawling 16:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
There seems to have been 2 botched merges regarding these 2 radio stations (4 call signs: WXTM, WXRK, WFNY-FM, and WKRI): First, the one in 2006 should be fixed. The call signs on Jan 7, 2006 changed as followed: WXTM became WXRK and WXRK became WFNY-FM. In terms of the articles, WXRK to WFNY-FM was moved correctly, but WXTM to WXRK was not (text was copied and pasted). This 2006 WXRK is currently named WKRI, so to fix this:
Second, on May 25, 2007, the articles were moved as follows: WXRK to WKRI and WFNY-FM to WXRK. WXRK to WKRI was done correctly, but WFNY-FM to WXRK was not (text was copied and pasted). So to fix this:
I think this will get all of the histories back as they should be. We (non-administrators) could fix the WFNY-FM back to WXRK ourselves, but would lose the history of the last few edits from today. I'm just going to leave it as is. -- Scott Alter 20:56, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:WXRKlogo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

RadioLocator.com naming convention
FCC naming convention compared to past callsigns
Only 2,000 of the 13,000 analog AM/FM radio stations in the U.S. have converted to HD; of those that have converted, all still broadcast via analog as mandated by the FCC. Moreoever, the first HD channel of every HD Radio station is a simulcast of the analog signal -- again, as mandated by the FCC.
[1]
239 million analog radio listeners in the U.S. vs. only 3 million HD Radio units. By far, analog is still the preferred choice among radio consumers.
[2]
Clearly, the infobox should reflect that analog technology is still the dominant form of transmission. It's also no secret that the radio industry has been heavily promoting HD Radio; by including only the HD Radio formats, one begins to question the credibility of this article's content.

I have added a source to show that it is indeed J.T. The Brick that airs during the overnights.
WKRK's website lists it as Fox Sports from 12-6 a.m., but all but one of those hours is really just J.T. The Brick's program.
Thus it would be more accurate to mention him by name since that's who fills the bulk of that time slot.

Phelps serves in multiple capacities on Fox Sports Ohio: reporter, play-by-play announcer, show host, etc. (via
http://www.foxsportsohio.com/pages/landing?blockID=93057)
"Along with his Cavalier duties, Phelps has performed a variety of other duties with FOX Sports Ohio, including play-by-play of Mid-American Conference football and basketball, play-by-play of Thursday Night High School Football, hosting Cleveland Indians pre-game and post-game shows, and hosting Cleveland Browns, Ohio State football and Mid-American Conference programming."
Also, note that no such profile exists on the Cleveland Cavaliers website.

Please note: I've removed any mention of the Gladiators from the lead. Rather than picking wording A over wording B, I've chosen neither until consensus is reached.
Vjmlhds believes the Cleveland Gladiators operate a radio network, and that WKRK-FM serves as that network's flagship station. However, Vjmlhds has only provided a single source to verify his claim: a team press release from ClevelandGladiators.com. I have a problem w/ this. The Gladiators organization -- like any other business -- has an obvious interest in promoting itself. It's in the team's interest to seem bigger, more important, and more popular than it really is to help generate the largest possible following. Promoting that game day broadcasts air on a radio "network" (as opposed to one or two individual stations) helps achieve this goal. For area listeners, the word "network" brings to mind the Browns, Cavs, and Indians radio networks -- all of which cover major league teams, all of which claim more than 20 affiliates outside the Cleveland market (incidentally, Cavs owner Dan Gilbert also owns the Gladiators). The Ohio State radio network, which also can be heard in Cleveland, claims more than 60 affiliates. But in the case of the non-major-league Gladiators, the team only airs on a single station outside of WKRK-FM. So when a team press release alone claims the team airs on a "network", I'm not terribly convinced. Per WP:SPS, "... self-published media... are largely not acceptable as sources." The policy continues in the notes section: "Further examples of self-published sources include press releases, material contained within company websites, advertising campaigns, material published in media by the owner(s)/publisher(s) of the media group..." With respect to sports teams, it is common practice on Wikipedia ( WP:WPRS specifically) to reserve the term "radio network" for a collection of radio stations from multiple markets which air team coverage. Similarly, it is common to reserve the term "flagship" for a radio station which is not only in the team's home market, but also part of a network. The term simulcast is far more appropriate for a situation like this w/ only two stations (not multiple). Of course, should reliable independent sources surface which support the team's press release, I would support a different wording. Levdr1lp / talk 17:47, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
