Proposal to merge WHN with WEPN (AM)
A lot of the material discussed in the history of WHN is already covered in the WEPN (AM) article so therefore I am suggesting that WHN be merged into WEPN (AM). Please add your opinion. Thanks. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 05:38, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Call-Letter change during WEVD to WEPN era
IMPORTANT MESSAGE ''Put your opinion or discussion here first. Please DO NOT revert anything under this discussion until a clear consensus can be reach by Wikipedians.''

For a very short time after WEVD sign off the air and was replaced by ESPN radio they temporarily used WEGD as their assigned call letters until they could use WEPN a few days later. This is similiar to when WWDJ in Hackensack, New Jersey made a format switch and temporarily used WTTT as their call letters until their new call letters WNYM were officially approved. I have included proper reference to an aircheck (see here) from the very day and moment that Alan Colmes signed WEVD off which then went into their top of the hour ID identifying themselves as WEGD New York. I'd like to hear everyone else's opinion on this, should the WEGD reference in the article stay or go. I will comply with majority rule on this. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 02:51, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * In listening to the aircheck, I don't hear "WEGD"… the ID that follows Alan Colmes' sign-off also says WEVD. A New York Daily News article from August 31, 2001 actually says "The WEVD call letters will remain for now." Indeed, according to the FCC, the call letters remained WEVD until April 28, 2003, when they were changed to the current WEPN — roughly a year-and-a-half after the format change from talk to sports/ESPN Radio. (Not coincidentally, that was the same day The Forward Association's ownership of the station formally ended and it became owned by Disney/ABC/ESPN, though it had already operated the station since the change to ESPN Radio in 2001.) I've also seen no evidence of the WEGD call letters being used anywhere… -- WC  Quidditch  &#9742;   &#9998;  03:28, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Wcquidditch, I hear what your saying and your right when you listen to the clip through a laptop computer it does sound like he is saying WEVD but may I suggest that you listen using headphone or earbuds and you'll see what I'm saying it is WEGD. Thanks. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 06:40, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but you are just mishearing it. I listened as well, using headphones, and it simply says WEVD. More importantly, the other sources Wcquidditch cited are pretty darn definitive, especially the FCC records, which easily trump one person's interpretation of a recording of a single identification. It's in in this that I removed the error initially, and have done so again. oknazevad (talk) 02:00, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Programming following shutdown of ESPN Deportes Radio as a network
I am doing a partial revert, absent a reliable source that states that WEPN 1050 has become a full-time simulcast of WEPN-FM. I do not live in a part of the country that can consistently receive WEPN 1050 over the air, but I am listening to them via TuneIn, and they are airing Spanish-language programming right now. My understanding is that only ESPN Deportes Radio network programming is being replaced by a simulcast of WEPN-FM, and that local brokered sports programming under contract and Spanish-language broadcasts of live games will continue, at least for the time being.--Tdl1060 (talk) 02:32, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Three Letter Designation
From the article: ‘Storer immediately dropped Top 40 for slow-paced standards and beautiful music, the province of much of FM radio at the time. The station was renamed WHN again on February 28, 1962, with special permission of the FCC. (Three-letter call sign sets are a rarity and have not been issued to broadcast stations since the early 1930s, let alone those on the AM band; WHN, WGH in Newport News, Virginia and KHJ in Los Angeles are the only known AM stations that have been able to revert to their original three-letter calls. The WHK callsign in Cleveland returned to its longtime home on 1420 after a few years' absence, but owner Salem Communications had kept it active on other stations it owned.)’

How about KYW? Though it ended up as a complicated swap, KYW left Philadelphia and then returned, restoring that 3 letter designation to 1060 KHz in that city. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lhammer610 (talk • contribs) 18:37, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
