[edit] KGRB (AM)

KGRB (AM) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

KGRB is a defunct radio station which is not particularly notable. While it was in operation for 35 years, a Google search only provides a single related web page by a former DJ with nothing that interesting. No important contributions to broadcasting, no notable alumni, nothing that would warrant coverage in Wikipedia Rtphokie (talk) 23:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. All radio and television stations licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (or its counterpart in other countries) are notable. Notability does not expire; this station is still notable, even though it is defunct. --Eastmain (talk) 23:26, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Licensed radio stations are notable for their coverage, especially one with 35+ years of history (search suggests its closer to 70 years). A general ghits test works mainly for stuff that's recent. A Google News search does show WP:RS coverage available. A radio station doesn't have to be first or biggest to be notable. • Gene93k (talk) 23:56, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Notability for an FCC-licensed station with 35 years of service doesn't expire due to an interruption in broadcasting any more than it would for a person who died. - Dravecky (talk) 01:04, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
