The move to the new frequency is fact. That they are moving so as to get a stronger signal and therefore more market. The pice about left versus right is all POV. Especially characterizing KDKA as left (Mike Pintack being but one obvious exception). Further "... after getting the OK from the FCC" is unnecessary, as the radio station (not being a pirate station) would not be able to switch frequencies any other way.

The original content that I modified was:

The station is currently in the process of switching signals with WAVL-AM, going from AM 1360 to 
the stronger AM 910, after getting the OK from the FCC. This move is being done so that the station,  
which has an even amount of liberal and conservative talk (a rarity on radio), can compete better 
with the right (WPGB-FM) and the left (longtime market leader KDKA-AM). This is expected to  
be finished sometime in 2006.

Feel free to discuss here.

Wikipedia's formal policy on What Wikipedia is Not specifically mentions that programming schedules for radio stations are not appropriate content.

Many radio station articles (probably written by people associated with the station) tend to digress into a competitive analysis of their local radio market, which I believe to not be relevant content as it invariably is not neutral POV and constantly changing...so I would agree that comparing which station in town is more left or right is not encyclopedic.StreamingRadioGuide —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 09:06, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
