WP:BLP of a radio personality of principally local notability in a small media market. The closest thing he has to a stronger notability claim is having appeared as a guest host on a national network programming, but that's (a) a thing that virtually every local host on all of the network's stations will get to do at least once, and (b) not a thing that got media coverage in its own right, so it's in no way an automatic notability freebie. But this isn't based on the depth or breadth of reliable source coverage needed to get him over WP:GNG in lieu; of the three references here, two are primary sources, and the third is a brief namecheck of his existence in an article about something completely irrelevant to his actual notability claim. All of which means that none of the sourcing here is enough to get him over GNG, and nothing in the content is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to get over GNG.
