Split 'em up
I understand that these stations currently operate as a group but given the geographical diversity and the ever-changing radio landscape, I believe that KHWY / KHYZ should be split off into their own articles. Cross-referencing is to be expected given the current format but each station deserves its own article. I may write these when I get time but I welcome any interested Wikipedian to lend a hand (or tell me why I shouldn't). - Dravecky 19:50, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Highwaystations.gif
Image:Highwaystations.gif 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 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.

Real Dance
Even though the vibe is back on FM 24/7 they still play the same top 40 crap over and over and over just like they did on 94.5, just like Jelli they lost me as a listener — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.193.16.114 (talk) 08:27, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

excessive non-free files
I removed 4 of the 5 non-free files on this page due to their failure to meet WP:NFCC Specifically #1,3,8 as there is no critical commentary on the contents of the images. Werieth (talk) 19:23, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

The various images display the original logos of KRXV, and show the format changes. You see the same thing with many wikipedia articles for commercial radio stations. Could you please clarify as to how they are not meeting items #1, 3, and 8? 99.197.201.40 (talk) 19:27, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Citing WP:OTHERSTUFF isnt a valid argument. There is zero discussion on the development, graphic design, meaning or histories of the individual logos. Yes they display the different logos but wikipedia's criteria for using non-free media requires there to be significant discussion about the logo in order for it to be used.

 * Is the following quote, "The V on the new logo was symbolic of an index finger and middle finger...", regarding File:Vibe_94.5_Logo_2.jpg insufficient? 99.197.201.40 (talk) 19:34, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, usage of non-free media requires a significant justification for the file before it can be used, a passing reference does not cut it. Werieth (talk) 19:36, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

KWHY history
The first radio station 101.5 FM (now a network of 3 genres and total of 8 local simulcast FM stations) which was then a single country/western/folk genre station serving travelers on Interstates 15 and 40 began in the early 1980s, but originally from Amboy, California on the AM dial 660 "as in US route 66" before it moved to 1250 in the mid 1990s (now off-air). From midnight to 6AM, KHWY had a program for truckers similar to still-existing KSL 1160 from Salt Lake City, Utah (it was on 1150 in Las Vegas) and back then, KSHO 1410 (now 1400) from Las Vegas (the dials represent I-15 and I-40), both stations can be received on Interstates 15 and 40 at nighttime hours. The radio station KHWY 101.5 was received as far away as Twentynine Palms (20 miles South of Amboy) and Yucca Valley, CA, KHWY was the first local radio station serving the Morongo Basin north of Palm Springs, but on the AM dial I'm sure KHWY covered much of Southern California like San Bernardino (where I-15 meets I-10) and maybe Los Angeles. 67.49.89.214 (talk) 17:47, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
