Fair use rationale for Image:KDBZ.jpg
File:KDBZ.jpg 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.

Article importance and station history
I left the article importance blank, as this is yet another article which focuses solely on the present in spite of any historical significance, leaving questions as to whether I would have assessed it properly. I've come across references to either a license or a construction permit for KBYR-FM at this frequency, ca. 1962. I haven't been able to tell if that station ever went on the air, or if it did, whether it could be considered within this station's lineage. I barely remember KJZZ, but enough to think there was some historical significance. Of course, I remember KRKN a whole lot better, and there certainly was some historical significance there. For one, that station was the last occupant of the McKay Building before it was abandoned for nearly a quarter century. For another, one of their top jocks was JD Chandler, who is currently one of the top personalities at K-LOVE. KRKN also played a substantial role in promoting the Alaskan music scene at the time, which included promoting concerts and releasing compilation albums of local artists. It may help to acknowledge this, as Music of Alaska is another article which gives undue weight to current endeavors. RadioKAOS –&#32; Talk to me, Billy  20:42, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
