Rationale for deletion of disambiguation page[edit]

Per the WP:Disambig page, "If only a primary topic and one other topic require disambiguation, then disambiguation links are sufficient, and a disambiguation page is unnecessary." Since the radio station call letters are the primary identification and the acronym for a British Army formation is a secondary identification, a hat note is sufficient and requires no more steps than would a disambiguation page for people seeking the King's Royal Rifle Corps. - Dravecky (talk) 10:30, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Huh[edit]

"So have many other broadcasters, who have gone on to careers as one of the first female radio technicians, as a DJ at Oregon Public Broadcasting, and as a senior producer of On the Media."

Is this supposed to be one person or several? I think this might be clearer as something like this: "Other alumni of the station have gone on to careers in broadcasting. This includes one of the first female radio technicians (Oregon/US/World?), a DJ at Oregon Public Broadcasting, and a senior producer of On the Media, among others."

Done fixed, I think-- thanks for noticing that, it was confusing. (Unfortunately the source doesn't say "first where", just "one of the first.") -Pete (talk) 19:36, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Website[edit]

KRRC is on air again, but no longer holds an FM frequency. It now airs completely online at krrcfm.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.10.125.171 (talk) 02:59, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

KRRC ≠ KXRY[edit]

It looks as if at some point an article about the college radio station KRRC was tagged as being about the call letter KXRY. With KXRY scheduled to be back on the air in March of 2014, it would probably be good to separate the two permanently, perhaps with a note that KRRC once used the frequency currently held by KXRY. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.99.210.132 (talk) 14:30, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I restored the text about the Reed College Radio Club to the article, and have updated it a little. Splitting into a separate article, with relevant links back and forth, seems reasonable to me if anybody wants to do it. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 20:09, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
