Hi, “Non-commercial educational” is not a format. It is a type of FCC broadcast license. I cannot find a place where KSUA refers to its format or programing as “educational.” The FCC has intentionally left “educational” undefined, "describing public broadcasting instead in terms of what it is not: Public stations “are not operated by profit-seeking organizations nor supported by on-the-air advertising,” with their “positive dimensions” determined by “social, political, and economic forces outside the Commission.” Suggesting, community, cultural or entertainment programming. Hence, the term public broadcasting, or public radio. After the first use of non-commercial in the intro, I have edited in public radio to replace it.

Added “Effective radiated power” - Public radio has many levels of allowable broadcast power. At the low end, its one to ten watts. Stating ERP in the intro/summery is informative. JeffFive (talk) 21:50, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

KFAR relevance?
“KFAR, the predominant AM commercial station in Fairbanks, had a format for many years in the 1970s and 1980s of top 40 music and local news and talk.” - How does this sentence relate to this article on KSUA? KFAR has its own page/article. Also, the word “predominant” seems questionable? The first radio station, yes. JeffFive (talk) 23:22, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Bill Walley?
Bill Walley, general manager of KFAR and later owner, had resisted expanding into some of the more contemporary music trends and radio formats which had emerged during the 1980s, and in fact had in part seeded KSUA during its push to become an open-air station.

The above paragraph presents specific statements and actions of a person, with no supporting sources. Certainty the words “in fact” demands’ a strong second party source. Please note that this removal does not imply that the information is either true or false. JeffFive (talk) 01:14, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
