- Keep One of the few well-known American shortwave stations yet; yup, it's become a very niche station as streaming has basically turned the entire shortwave band into a never-ending camp meeting band, but it's FCC licensed (see WP:BROADCAST; nominating this as a company isn't appropriate) and known well among radio enthusiasts.

- Keep WBCQ is known widely among shortwave and DX listeners like myself and others in Europe who occasionally hear it floating in from across the pond. As noted by Nate, it falls under the notability guidelines for WP:BROADCAST, since it has an established broadcast history (aired for more than 21 years). The article should be retained on this site.
