Talk:Proud FM

Redirect
This page served as a redirect to Central Radio (Preston), a radio station that formerly used the "Proud FM" monicker (it appears from the article that the station had switched to the Central Radio name by the time it went on the air in 2008), with a hatnote to CIRR-FM, a Canadian station that currently uses the "Proud FM" on-air name.

I have redirected the page to CIRR-FM, primarily due to the fact that the Canadian station still uses the brand name, while the U.K. station does not. I also did a Google searches of "Proud FM", which came up with the following results:


 * A search of www.google.co.uk came up with the following results in the first five pages of search results: 26 references to the Canadian station, 21 references to the U.K. station, and 3 references to other objects.


 * A search of www.google.ca came up with the following five pages of search results: all references were to the Canadian station, none to the U.K. station.


 * A search of www.google.co.nz (just to try a random non-U.K., non-Cdn. search engine) came up with the following five pages of search results: 40 references to the Canadian station, 6 references to the U.K. station, and 4 references to other subjects.

Although it would appear that there is no primary topic in the U.K., elsewhere it would seem that the Canadian station is the primary topic. Coupled with the current use of the brand, as well as the Canadian station's claim to notability (first commercial terrestrial LGBT radio station in the world), this page should redirect to CIRR-FM.
