This radio station was silent even before it shut down, no evidence online that it even existed other than FCC filings DirtyHarry991 (talk) 04:53, 10 November 2023 (UTC) Delete: A quick search of records show this station was off the air more than it was on. It's original license to cover is listed as 11/28/2006, it went silent a day later. I can't say for certain if it ever launched. It supposedly resumed operations on 05/31/2007 only to fall silent again on 03/17/2008. This pattern of silent for months, on for a few days, then silent again would repeat over and over and over until 07/09/2015 when when it's final license to cover was requested to be cancelled, that took place on 07/13/2015. There is a Special Temporary Authority filed in 2016, but it was never acted upon by the FCC. The callsign and license were officially cancelled on 07/13/2015, not in 2016 or 2018 as the article states.

Beyond this, I can find nothing regarding the station outside of Wikipedia mirrors and FCC documents. Nothing on Golden Age Communications either. The addresses for the station, in FCC documents, all track back to residental homes. In short, I don't think this station ever existed outside of paper. Delete per GNG and former NMEDIA rules, while didn't allow for this kind of page in the first place. -  Neutralhomer •  Talk  • 05:59, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The apparent July 2015 dating for the license cancellation that might appear in certain FCC searches appears to be little more than a quirk in FCC's CDBS database with regard to reflecting these cancellations; that was actually when a frequency change from 93.5 to 107.9 was licensed. The station itself has its "license cancelled" status dated June 28, 2018. The owners (theoretically) pulled the plug for financial reasons in September 2016 (this is the aforementioned STA request), the FCC informed the station in May 2018 it was on the verge of losing its license for not resuming broadcasts within a year, and a lack of response led to the license being canceled that June.)

 * Thanks for the corrections. When the FCC switched from CDBS (the old filing system) to LMS (the new one), things got lost, messed up, etc.  Since that's probably what happened there.  Again, thanks for the correction. :) -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 17:56, 10 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete: This is definitely a leftover article from the days when we were so lax on notability for broadcast stations that we were creating stubs on pretty much any licensed facility, regardless of whether there was anything else we could even verifiably say. The GNG requires much more significant coverage than could possibly be provided by FCC records, of course, and even the NMEDIA essay's old overpresumption of notability (though again, enforcement of that was not particularly stringent for too long).

 * Delete: Not enough sourcing is available to meet WP:GNG. Let&#39;srun (talk) 16:01, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: As the creator of this stub back in those more lax days, I have no quarrel with this nomination, especially given current standards. Note for the nominator for future, though – it's generally considered good form to notify the article creator and any significant contributors to the article about the nomination on their talk pages.
