True or false: this article belongs at List of radio stations in New York. 66.245.8.61 00:20, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

(Description: the state article is at New York, not New York State (which is a re-direct.) 66.245.8.61 00:25, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Requested move
The article on New York is at New York, not New York State. How does this article deserve the word "state" in its title?? Georgia guy 23:09, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * To distinguish it from a list of radio stations in New York City? Powers 00:10, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, how is it logical for this article to have "New York State" in its title?? The article of the state itself is New York and that's the way articles relating to the state are expected to be titled. Georgia guy 00:49, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * All I'm saying is that "List of radio stations in New York" is ambiguous. The New York article even says, "It is sometimes called New York State when there is need to distinguish it from New York City..."  In this case, it could be argued there is such a need.  Powers 02:57, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well then, how is it logical that the main NY article is simply New York but this article gets titled with "New York State" in it?? Georgia guy 21:18, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * In that case, an article about the state, it's more important to have the name of the state correct. In this case, it's more important to be clear about whether we're referring to the state or the city.  IMO.  Powers 14:19, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Why is what is important in the 2 cases inconsistent?? (And, why isn't anyone other than myself and Ltpowers putting anything in this proposed move??) Georgia guy 16:07, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Makes sense to me, though I'm not quite sure whether the New York City / New York State ambiguity is resolved the best way it could be. &mdash; Nightst a  llion  (?) 08:15, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

New listing
I created a new listing that is more town oriented based on a recent FCC query. The previous metropolitan approach wound up losing stations. I would strongly caution against adding additional detail about stations to the list as ownership/formats et al are often rapidly changing. There are now four lists and the details would soon conflict with each other. Add the ownership et al information to the station pages. BTW I do know there are some repeaters in this list. The best way to handle them is for redirects to the home station. Americasroof 22:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

List of Radio Stations in New York City
Why is there no list of radio stations ONLY in the New York City area? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.164.192.68 (talk) 23:04, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Convention has that lists are only built as far as the state level. On individual stations, you'll see navigation boxes that include all stations in a specific city, or market. Mlaffs (talk) 19:02, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

WELP
I don't understand why my addition keeps getting reverted. How can WELP be broadcasting without a license? Powers T 03:45, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, ; I just saw this note now. Have a look at this article — gives a general overview of how the process works. It's likely that they're just testing the equipment to make sure that it's operating properly. Theoretically, there's also a chance they could be operating illegally, although let's hope not. Either way, from the FCC's perspective, they haven't advanced beyond the construction permit stage yet. In reality, there shouldn't actually even be an article for the station yet — convention has generally been that the station's not considered notable until it's licensed (another reason why it's not included in the various lists). Mlaffs (talk) 15:59, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response. Seems like a station would be notable if there's coverage of it, regardless of the status of the application. I assume the FCC's database your using is updated frequently? If so, I can only assume they're operating under a PTA. Unless the procedure for LP stations is different somehow...
