Article review
This article is progressing nicely, with a good lead section and strong history info. I'm no expert on radio articles, but it seems to me that the article needs a section about the station's programming. I see the article as a solid C/borderline B - I think it just needs a section on programming to push it to solid B class.-- Mojo Hand (talk) 16:37, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I will add a programming section here in a couple. Thanks for the review. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 23:35, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree the article is in nice shape, but needs a section on programming. Looking at the wikiproject style guideline, this is the only thing missing. Barker had "automotive and fuel interests": I am not sure what this means. I think it should be explained or omitted. -- Diannaa (talk) 01:20, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * That wasn't explained in the text. I guess maybe he owned a car dealership and a gas station, perhaps?  Really not sure on that one.  But I see your point, and I'll remove that. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 20:19, 14 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I've been asked for some informal review comments. The following relate only to the lead, which is all I've read thus far:
 * First line: "Oldies and Classic Hits-formatted broadcast radio station" is extraordinarily convoluted. For a start, you don't need "broadcast" – that is obviously what radio stations do. Even without that, the introductory sentence is clumsy, and you might consider rewriting it into a more reader-friendly form.
 * I broke up the first sentence on the page a little. Reworded some things as well. - NH
 * "and is owned since 2004" → "and has been owned since 2004".
 * Done. - NH
 * Delete the second "since 2004" that appears at the end of the sentence.
 * Done. - NH
 * link "simulcasting", as some readers (me, for instance) are not familiar with the term.
 * Linked. - NH
 * You mention ownership by the Appalachian Educational Communication Corporation (AECC) twice, but in general the lead is very skimpy, and hardly fulfils the role of providing a summary of the entire article. Short though the article is, the lead would benefit from a bit of expansion.
 * I tweaked the lede a little more, added some more about AECC in the text. I have access to Newspapers.com, NewspaperArchive.com and HighBeam, so I am going to check those for more information, past and present. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 20:59, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Correction, I will have access to aforementioned websites soon. I guess everything is still being processed from Wikipedia to the various websites.  When I do, I will give a look-see for more information. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 21:21, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll add more as time permits. Brianboulton (talk) 18:08, 14 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I added the "Programming" section that, , and requested, which sources of course. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 23:17, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
