KTLV

  • ... that Oklahoma radio station KRMC dropped its all-news radio format in part because management felt it did not work for a daytime-only station? Source: [1]

5x expanded by Raymie (talk). Self-nominated at 00:37, 21 March 2020 (UTC).

  • Oh hey Raymie. The article was new enough when nommed, and seems to be long enough but still has a stub tag - if this could be removed that would fix that problem. The hook seems interesting, but the issue is that it uses a different station name. This is explained in the article, but won't be evident for readers on the main page. Is there something else you could propose? Kingsif (talk) 17:41, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
  • I think the difference with most of those is that the other call signs are in the lead - here it isn't, so the reader may think they've gone to the wrong article. Perhaps add KRMC in the lead? Kingsif (talk) 18:40, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
  • @Kingsif: Typically we don't put prior call signs in the lead unless they were hugely significant in the station's history (ex. KWKW with KFAC, KNKL (FM) with KWCR-FM). That just isn't the case with KRMC. Raymie (tc) 20:41, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Hmm. This might break the flow of the hook, but maybe a "(now KTLV)" after the call sign would work? Up to you. Kingsif (talk) 20:42, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
  • @Kingsif: I'm no fan, personally. Raymie (tc) 20:55, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
  • I should have known! I'll approve it, because there's nothing really wrong, but ERRORS might bring it up. Kingsif (talk) 20:59, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
