A Way with Words
When you're linking to radio stations, please make sure that you're linking to the actual article about the station. In a lot of cases, there are two or more radio/TV stations that share the same base call sign. So, the article at KPBS (for example) is actually what's called a disambiguation page that points to separate articles at KPBS (TV) and KPBS-FM. Your recent edit to remove the "-FM" from the links in this article for KPBS-FM and WFYI-FM broke the links to those articles and pointed them to disambiguation pages instead. Similarly, your addition of a link to KTOO had the same effect.

If your concern is to have consistent format within the article, so that only the base call sign is showing, then you can use what's called the "pipe trick". In this example, you can type KPBS — the text to the left of the pipe is the actual article name, while the text to the right is what will show on screen, like this: KPBS.

One other point — your user name suggests that you're involved with this particular program. If you haven't already, you might want to have a look at Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy. Updates like these to keep the list of stations airing the program current wouldn't be a problem but, if you're worried about bumping up against the policy at all, you might want to consider leaving a note at the article's talk page or at the talk page for the radio project to have someone uninvolved look at what you want to add and do so on your behalf.

Bogus information
Thanks for your fix to Potluck. You can remove items like this, which can be pretty much disproved, but you can also remove anything which lacks affirmative support from reliable sources. You can also tag them with citation needed (that page has some discussion about when one might tag and when one might immediately remove). Thanks for your contributions to wikipedia.
