[edit] Radio Pages
Glad someone is working on the radio pages. You are doing some good work. I actually was wondering who had done that huge update in Alaska and said "that's some good work" after seeing it. Keep up the good work and PM me if you ever need help with stations in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, or the Pittsburgh, Johnstown/Altoona, Harrisburg, Chambersburg, and Bedford/Somerset sections of Pennsylvania. Rock on...SVRTVDude 04:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the props, I must say the same back at ya! As for updates in your area - I would rather not "step on your toes" and leave those updates to you. However, we could collaborate where I would be more than happy to help you fill in any gaps of information you may have and I would like for you to do the same for me. I used to work in the radio industry and have access to some information that is difficult or impossible to find google search. I also subscribe to 100,000watts.com, which offers a wealth of information, however some of it is innacurate.
- I have found myself as being quite scattered and I need to focus on just one area of updates. Must be my ADHD...lol! My latest quest has been the updates of modern rock radio stations as so many different names are given to describe the format - rightfully so as it's such an ambiguous name. Anyways, feel free to contact me anytime with any question, concern, etc... I don't mind any criticism as the wikipedia project isn't designed to only fit my tastes and I strive to prevent any personal bias from affecting the formatting and contents of my articles; especially the article edits where the article was created by another fellow editor.

- Much thanks! I wouldn't feel stepped on, if you find information or have some news, go right ahead and put it on a page...I am check the pages out, but with people I trust (you included), I just let add and don't even check cause I know the info will be accurate :o)
-
- Speaking of impossible info, would you have access to information about KXGN-TV? I ask, cause I need a reference that says KXGN-TV is the only station affiliated with two of the Big 3 networks that isn't wiki related. Darned references:).

- Keep up the good work and stay warm.....SVRTVDude 06:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Congrats
For the MASSIVE amount of contributions you have made to the TV and Radio pages, especially the Alaska pages, and the hard work you are doing for a webcasters section...there is no question that you deserve this barnstar. Congrats! - SVRTVDude (Yell - Work) 08:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] FM Radio stations in Nevada
- Fantastic work! I've noticed your dedication to the project on FM Radio stations in Reno and Las Vegas. Kudos! --Strangerer (Talk | Contribs) 23:34, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Source for KPIG information?
What's your source for the information you recently added to the KPIG article? KPIG's only been broadcasting on KPIG-AM 1510 for a couple years now; same thing with KPYG, which was KOTR until a few years back. You recently added info that put KPIG's (AM, I think) airdate at 1947, and KPYG's airdate at 1984. Does that reflect the airdate of the transmitter they're currently using?
I'll try to find a source for the actual airdate's of KPIG-AM and KPYG, if I can.

According the Wikipedia Radio Project, under the radio infobox template, we are supposed to use the "first airdate" which is the date the station initially signed on. However, I notice that about 50% of the people use the date of the last format change.
However, the consensus "seems" to be the usage of "first airdate" of the station. In my humble opinion, the infobox should be expanded to include "first airdate" and the date of the last format change to prevent confusion.
I didn't mean to step on your toes with the change, and I don't wish to impose my will on wikipedia as this is a COMMUNITY website where the views of one person should not overpower others so I will leave it up to your discretion on whether to change it or not and I will respect your decision.

I in no way feel that your edit was bad, I'm just not familiar with the guidelines for the infobox. What does the "first airdate" of the station mean? Date of the first broadcast at that frequency? First broadcast with a particular call sign? I'll leave your edits be for now and try to find sources for the dates of format change, and perhaps add that directly to the article. --mcpusc 23:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
