 * What needs to be done here? WRRK-FM and WBZB-FM (or whatever each was named at various times) seem to have existed at the same time and to have been edited in parallel. Anthony Appleyard 08:58, 23 June 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, should we just redirect? Addhoc 11:41, 23 June 2007 (UTC)


 * There was a [ cut-and-paste move] made by at 8:04 on May 19, 2006 (UTC) (there was a blanking at 8:03 by the same user, but that lasted only a minute and is not reflected in the revision comparison I linked to) – however, for some bizarre reason, WBZB-FM was never actually made a redirect!  Maybe we should just link to [ WBZB-FM's page history] on this talk page somewhere and create a redirect, as has been suggested (although since WRRK did not actually become WBZB and "WBZB" is actually used by another station in the US, I'm not completely sure about where WBZB-FM should redirect to (especially since the real WBZB has another article (a far shorter stub) that is undergoing a proposed merge with the other) – but it should be a duplicate article with the WRRK-FM article at any rate).  I'm not sure this cut-and-paste move can be repaired easily (if at all) at this point — definitely not with the standard method, at any rate.  -- WC  Quidditch   &#9742;   &#9998;  16:18, 23 June 2007 (UTC)


 * It seems that:-
 * At 05:37 on 24 September 2005 User:Boothy443 moved WRRK-FM to WRRK the official way, leaving WRRK-FM as a redirect.
 * Around 08:04, 19 May 2006 User:The Punk seems to have copy-and-pasted (not cut-and-pasted) from WBZB-FM into WRRK-FM.
 * This created 2 parallel versions, which at various later times were likely copied into each other.
 * Currently WBZB-FM is merely a subset of WRRK-FM.
 * It seems that, if we are keeping WRRK-FM, the history of WBZB-FM from its beginning to 08:00, 19 May 2006 inclusive should be under WRRK-FM. Anthony Appleyard 11:16, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

WMYG played classic rock in the mid 1980s
I know this, because I was a regular listener at the time. I just don't have a source to put it in the article. Grundle2600 (talk) 18:28, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yea, we did... Around that time the new GM brought in was Stu Cohen, he began the Magic thing - became a bit more soft classic rock; we hired ex- DVE'rs Marcy for 10AM and Jimmy and Steve as well as the original Mr Yuk - Bill Flemming for morning drive. We already had Sean McDowell for afternoon drive. Before that, during Mike Benz's reign, it was WHYW Y-97.  - I was the station Chief Engineer around the time Benz brought in Stu Cohen. Got them their first Continental 35KW Transmitter and moved them to the 415' tower in Hazelwood. They had already moved the transmitter from the cemetery in Braddock before I got there. And can't forget Chuck Brinkman either - he became PD about the time I started Wamnet (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 03:15, 28 July 2010 (UTC).
