I assume we are discussing radio stations without government issued callsigns.
Question: what percentage of stations in Europe and Asia do NOT have government issued callsigns. Isn't there a licensing agency that must keep a unique identifier of some sort? Why not use that to keep track of the stations?
I assume that the operating frequencies do not change very often, so if there really are no unique government-issued identifiers, wouldn't it be possible to use the Country and City name along with a frequency to be a unique ID that humans refer to? rhyre ( talk) 17:30, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles ( BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.
The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>> Wikipedia:WikiProject Radio Stations/Archive 2010/Unreferenced BLPs<<<
If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.
Thank you.
The radio stations WNWC FM and WNWC AM are owned by the same organization. Both these radio stations broadcast from the same building, share the same website ( http://wnwc.nwc.edu/page.php), and share opperating expences. They even mention eachother in their broadcasts. I was wondering if it would be possible to merdge the two articles since they are the same station (with one broadcasting music and the other programs). Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.98.15.172 ( talk) 22:05, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
When providing latitude and longitude for a radio station, please use type:landmark
in the {{
Coord}} template, not type:city
. Also please do not use
excessive precision such as hundredths of a second arc. I've been fixing these by hand, but I'm unable to keep up with the rate at which new radio station articles are being created. I'm happy to discuss this or answer questions as needed.--

_region:US-AL
part (with AL
replaced by the appropriate state abbreviation). The _source:NAD27
part is also helpful; though it's not exactly per the intent of {{
Coord}} template, it gets the point across. I also recommend that coordinates appear in the title line of the article, which implies |display=inline,title
. And definitely _type:landmark
rather than _type:city
. So my model would be similar to Dravecky's: {{coord|0|0|0|N|0|0|0|W|type:landmark_region:US-AL_source:NAD27|display=inline,title}}..00
. It's undoubtedly
false precision. If the coordinates were accurate to 0.01 second-of-arc (about 9-12 inches on the surface of the Earth) then the digits 0-9 would appear about equally often in the hundredths place of the numeric values.Have put some time into WMAQ (AM) and the WCFL section on WMVP. Neither have been rated.

I am currently in a discussion with another editor regarding List of 50kw AM radio stations in the USA. He is of the opinion that the naming conventions on the other page state that the Frequency column should read 640 AM, rather than 640 kHz.
My opinion, on the other hand, is that the column is about frequency, not type of modulation. Therefore 640 kHz would be correct.
Looking for comments, please? Appreciate your time.

While I'm an inclusionist by nature, WILI's page seems to be a blatant advertisment for the station. Included is a program guide & about 20 pictures of the personalities & of the station's "Boom Box Parade" which used words like "our" & "you're invited to come next year!" I removed the last 2. Anyway, it seems a bit much. Stereorock ( talk) 10:17, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
What's the policy about Part 15 stations? Do we include them or are they not notable as a whole? There are 2 pages that I know of but one does apparently lease out time on a commercial station.

I'm currently working on a re-work of UK ILR stations, offline at present but will put online an area at a time. I am currently dealing with a series of stations which changed their formats and names numerous times, sometimes reverting to original names. If I name these pages as per the conventions suggested on the WikiProject page I will end up with multiple pages with the same name. What should I do about this? My suggestion would be to use the Station Name and then the Frequencies in brackets to distinguish between services. e.g. Blah Radio (999.9 FM and 9999 AM), Blah Radio (999.9 and 999.9 FM) and Blah Radio (9999 AM). These stations were not broadcasting at the same time as each other so there would have been no ambiguity at the time but there now is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GrouseyGrouse ( talk • contribs) 16:33, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
It looks like a college station's logo but it is new. Maybe the old one can be moved to a historical logos section & the new one put where the old one is now? I'd do it but I don't know how.

In Oregon Public Broadcasting, a public radio and television broadcast network, these templates are used over 60 times to cover all of the network's radio and TV stations, including repeaters. Has anyone ever considered allowing {{ FMQ}}, {{ AMQ}}, and {{ TVQ}} to support multiple parameters? For example, instead of having to
add five lines to the list of external links, like this

allow for the possibility of only adding this

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Radio station articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Sunday, November 14th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!
If you have already provided feedback, we deeply appreciate it. For the Wikipedia 1.0 editorial team, SelectionBot 16:36, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions).

In November 2010, [[WDYN (FM 89.7) was sold Tennessee Temple University to Bible Broadcasting Network, which then became WYBK. In December, the school bought QUUS AM 980, and began broadcasting the same singal as it had on 89.7.
Should WDYN cover both the former FM and current AM stations, or should we have one for the FM station at WYBK, including its old history, and a separate article at on the AM station, indluding that frequencies old history (which is quite "extensive")?

Hi there. In case anyone is interested, I've proposed a replacement draft of the article WCSP-FM on its attendant Talk page. At present, the article has no inline-references, misstates some information, and is written as a single, unbroken section. My draft includes citations to numerous independent, reliable sources verifying all of the information contained and slightly expands and re-organizes the article into a logical heading structure. This draft can be found in my user space, here: User:WWB_Too/WCSP-FM.
As a point of disclosure, I happen to work part-time with the C-SPAN communications team; they are aware of and have been supportive of my efforts to rework this article as well as a few others related to their network. I've disclosed this fully at every step and have received positive feedback from editors on other WikiProjects ( Television and District of Columbia). Based on these successes, I'm inclined to implement the new version myself shortly. However, in case anyone here is interested in reviewing the draft and offering comments, I'll wait at least 24 hours before doing anything else with it. Cheers, WWB Too ( talk) 19:50, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

A user has requested discussion about whether the article DYAJ is within Wikipedia's criteria for articles or whether it should be deleted. You are being notified since you created or contributed to this topic.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DYAJ until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the criteria which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines. You are encouraged to add useful evidence as well.
While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy. You may edit the article during the discussion, including improvements to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, you must not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.

I recommend using http://cdbs.recnet.net:8080/fmq.php? for all queries, AM, FM and TV. Just cause it says "FMQ" doesn't mean it is just FM. Just put in the call sign and go. Has a nice little Google plot map too.

I know up until 1990 at the very least (I'm not sure after I left for DRC) 1600 AM IN East Longmeadow (currently noted as WHNP in Wikipedia) was WIXY16 (WIXY 1600 AM) a country music station. I am not sure how to go about editing this in.

Content wise... I wasn't sure how to go about listing it other than just dry facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.44.12.49 ( talk) 16:21, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
The WFHT page is being edited by a user who seems to have a stake in the station. The user has reverted an edit to make the article less like an advertisement for the station & has neglected to keep the night power in the opening paragraph (although it still appears in the dialog box). I'm going to go through to see about possible unsourced material. Stereorock ( talk) 22:09, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Radio station articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Sunday, November 14th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!
If you have already provided feedback, we deeply appreciate it. For the Wikipedia 1.0 editorial team, SelectionBot 16:36, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions). See the tool's wiki page, this project's listing in one big table or by categories and the index of WikiProjects. Svick ( talk) 20:49, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
do you think this might be a good idea or a bad one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zonmoy ( talk • contribs) 23:06, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
In November 2010, [[WDYN (FM 89.7) was sold Tennessee Temple University to Bible Broadcasting Network, which then became WYBK. In December, the school bought QUUS AM 980, and began broadcasting the same singal as it had on 89.7.
Should WDYN cover both the former FM and current AM stations, or should we have one for the FM station at WYBK, including its old history, and a separate article at on the AM station, indluding that frequencies old history (which is quite "extensive")? Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 04:58, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi there. In case anyone is interested, I've proposed a replacement draft of the article WCSP-FM on its attendant Talk page. At present, the article has no inline-references, misstates some information, and is written as a single, unbroken section. My draft includes citations to numerous independent, reliable sources verifying all of the information contained and slightly expands and re-organizes the article into a logical heading structure. This draft can be found in my user space, here: User:WWB_Too/WCSP-FM.
As a point of disclosure, I happen to work part-time with the C-SPAN communications team; they are aware of and have been supportive of my efforts to rework this article as well as a few others related to their network. I've disclosed this fully at every step and have received positive feedback from editors on other WikiProjects ( Television and District of Columbia). Based on these successes, I'm inclined to implement the new version myself shortly. However, in case anyone here is interested in reviewing the draft and offering comments, I'll wait at least 24 hours before doing anything else with it. Cheers, WWB Too ( talk) 19:50, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

A user has requested discussion about whether the article DYAJ is within Wikipedia's criteria for articles or whether it should be deleted. You are being notified since you created or contributed to this topic.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DYAJ until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the criteria which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines. You are encouraged to add useful evidence as well.
While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy. You may edit the article during the discussion, including improvements to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, you must not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.
An editor has proposed eliminating the {{ Infobox radio station}} template in favor of merging it into the television-centric {{ Infobox broadcast}}. The discussion can be found here and should be ongoing for the next few days. - Dravecky ( talk) 22:09, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
Until Monday, December 20, all FCC links will be down per the following message on the FCC.gov website:
The normal FCC website and related electronic filing systems and documents (except for NORS) will be unavailable beginning 6:00 p.m. (EST) Friday, December 17 through 6:00 a.m. (EST) Monday, December 20 for scheduled maintenance.
This means all Radio links (FMQ and AMQ) and TV links (TVQ) will give you the following message:
Not Found The requested object does not exist on this server. The link you followed is either outdated, inaccurate, or the server has been instructed not to let you have it. Please inform the site administrator of the referring page.
I recommend using http://cdbs.recnet.net:8080/fmq.php? for all queries, AM, FM and TV. Just cause it says "FMQ" doesn't mean it is just FM. Just put in the call sign and go. Has a nice little Google plot map too.
As for any links to applications or other FCC material, those are down for the duration.
Sorry for the inconvenience. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 07:58, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Please if you have time and you know anything to it (I have seen that you have made edits in the article area which owns relations on it) , please look on the article Audio theatre, somebody placed a erase discussion on it. after we have had a merge discussion. It would be interesting what you would say to the merge and the delete discussion. And possibly it could help to contact other people that they should help also. )-: Merry Xmas -- Soenke Rahn ( talk) 14:05, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
