Talk:KALX

Rationale for deletion of disambiguation page
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 code reference to an airport is a secondary identification, a hat note is sufficient and requires no more steps than would a disambiguation page for people seeking the airport. - Dravecky (talk) 05:45, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Freeform?
If KALX requires DJs to play four selections from a limited or preferred rotation per hour, how is it that they justify calling themselves a "freeform" radio station?

Yes, freeform!
I guess the term "freeform" is relative then-- the "limited or preferred rotation" includes at any one time approximately 200-300 CDs, 10-20 LPs, and 10-20 7"s, usually, but not necessarily new-ish releases, falling in genres with increasingly meaningless labels such as "rock," "pop," "spoken word," "world," and more. The other 13-15 songs that get played during any hour can be NOT from this "preferred rotation" or even NOT from the station's own library of over 80,000 pieces of plastic, covering decades of recorded sound. The occasional live performance and public affairs programs round out the picture.

I suppose the only true, scientific definition of "freeform" would be 24 hours of white noise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.229.120.157 (talk) 23:35, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Wrong class?
In the introduction, it says that KALX broadcasts at 500 W. In the infobox, it says that this station is Class A. But when you click on "Class," which brings you to List of North American broadcast station classes, class A stations have a minimum power of 10,000 W.

 * Both factoids are wrong. Noncommercial educationsl stations don't have a "class." I have changed this in the infobox. The reference power for commercial Class A stations is 6 kW at 100 meters HAAT, but there are many with lower power due to interference considerations and antenna height.
