No indication of notability beyond the campus. Does not have a FCC license, and no indication that it ever did. Currently a web stream only. RadioFan (talk) 03:40, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Found a 54 word item in Billboard Oct 20, 1973, page 36. This qualifies as at least one reliable and independent source with a bit more than directory coverage. Google News archive shows a number of articles in the college's paper over the years, which seem as relevant as comparable articles in a small town newspaper about something in the town. In addition numerous directories mention it, which counts for still less relative to WP:N, but which give this 60-year old station more credibility than an upstart hobby station in some high-school student's basement. Over the years it has done (no license needed) carrier current AM broadcasting to dorms. There appear to be numerous sources in the form of the college paper to furnish material for an article, and the station has apparently been recognized and listed in advertising directories such as "Broadcasting Yearbook" (1976), Madison Avenue Handbook," (1977, 1980), "Private Colleges and Universities (1982), Television Factbook (1974), "Emerson College )a factbook, 2005, and "Burrelle's Media Directory-1995". Since these are mostly directory listings or local college paper articles, I cannot give an unreserved "Keep" recommendation.

 * Merge per NeutralHomer .  I'm not convinced that any notability is there.  Yea, 60 years is a while, but if there is only one RS with at total of 54 words, I'm not convinced that we have meet the bar for notability. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:57, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
