[edit] 3 Different KTLK-AM's?

Apparently 1150AM in Los Angeles is not the only KTLK-AM out there. KTLK-AM is also used for Clear Channel Air America stations in Santa Barbara, CA and Denver, CO. Did the FCC change their rules about assigning call letters? If this 3-way is the case, should each KTLK-AM get its own page or could all 3 of them (since they are all Clear Channel-owned Air America stations) be compounded on this page?

[edit] KTLK-FM

In Minneapolis, KJZI will soon become KTLK-FM (which, unlike the 3 AM stations, will NOT be an Air America affiliate...in fact, they're getting Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity). It may be best to rename this article as "KTLK-AM" to avoid confusion, and have "KTLK" take the Wiki user to a page that allows the user to select either the AM or FM versions.

AM stations are always the default when giving out call letters (i.e. "-AM" is never appended to the calls of an AM station. Calwatch 22:21, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

-FM or -TV suffixes were traditionally used where an old AM station is affiliated with an FM or TV station using the same call letters. More specifically, KTLK in the Twin Cities does not refer to itself as KTLK-FM, but is also known simply as KTLK, and is its own station. I agree that it is ambiguous (and probably a little old-fashioned) to favor one AM station by default and not discuss other AM stations (if they exist-an FCC search suggests they don't) or an FM station known to exist using the same call letters.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ktlklogo.jpg

Image:Ktlklogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
