Talk:WLTN-FM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are a couple of mistakes regarding WLTN-FM. The station actually signed on the air officially in September of 1991 and not December of 1994, as a semi-automated oldies station called Gold 96.7 with live programming between 6am and 10am. The station acquired satellite programming outside of the morning drive daypart from Westwood One in December of 1994 and remained that way until September of 1999 when it adopted the handle Bright 96.7 and the Westwood One Bright AC format. New owners made the change on September 12, 1999 and the AM-FM simulcast of the morning show ended in 2000. New owner Barry Lunderville came along a few years later and changed the FM to Mix 96.7 and ended the news-talk format on the AM to Oldies, jettisoning all the talk programming (Here's to Your Health, the local Talk & Trade Show, Paul Harvey, Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Dean Edell and Tom Leykis all disappeared and the only holdover from the talk days on the AM was the Boston Red Sox). Most recently, the AM has gained a low power FM repeater on 98.5 FM serving a few mniles more of the Littleton NH-St Johnsbury VT area.

Footnotes don't seem to support statements. "Biggest library" just points to a list of radio stations without saying anything about a library. The last statement with POV adjectives in it points to a chamber of commerce site with no radio at all. A c-of-c site is generally not much of a reference particularly when it comes to supporting superlatives. Student7 21:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't agree that "sources" add anything to the article. Old Wikipedia articles that were just started used to do this and were therefore vaguely rooted. We now have articles where almost nothing can be proved as fact! Therefore Wikipedia has abandoned this and supports footnoting individual statements which is already done in this article. "the gold to whatever" is already in one footnote. You can add "whatever to whatever" in the other bostonradio.com footnote if you want.

Wikipedia article are not supposed to promote anything except the truth. The sources seem to promote the local c-of-c which is usually not a reliable reference or source in any event. Telephone numbers are great for .com pages as are email addresses, but not in Wikipedia! Please delete or defend "sources." Student7 01:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Updates made! You were correct. I will make these changes not only for this article but also for my other articles. Also, consider that excess information deleted!

Any Wikipedians from the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont or Coos or Grafton Counties of New Hampshire who know a little history please feel free to add to this page. This article is much shorter than it was about a month ago, because I omitted excess advertisement-style sentences and sections.
