No FCC record for this station, not finding any references to the station in a Google Search, owner's website (Meeker Broadcasting) is dormant. Rtphokie (talk) 13:25, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. Evidence such as http://www.gilpincountynews.com/20050407/News_writer_hosts_radio.htm seems sufficient to establish that the station once existed. --Eastmain (talk) 14:04, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

• Comment. Perhaps the station was a low-power broadcaster (as well as an internet broadcaster) and therefore didn't require an FCC licence. I found another reference to Meeker Broadcasting at http://www.blacktalkbroadcasting.com/services.html but I remain puzzled about the station and the company. I couldn't find a listing for the station or company using Yellowpages.com --Eastmain (talk) 15:13, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment even if we can determine that the station and/or it's owner once existed, notability still needs to established. Radio stations are afforded alot of leeway on Wikipedia due to their importance to local communities, let's not stretch that too far. If existence of this station can be established sufficiently along with references to local programming (not just rebroadcast of a parent station or network elsewhere), I'm cool with improving this article with that information, otherwise it should be deleted.--Rtphokie (talk) 15:50, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
• Weak keep The article is in need of overhaul but there is some evidence (such as this Radio Info message board posting: [1]) points to this station having existed at 1080 AM in Denver. A more determined search is called for, possibly by somebody with access to local media archives. - Dravecky (talk) 17:05, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
• Weak Delete Doesn't exist in FCC database, and over at fccinfo.com where you can search historical call letters, the calls have never existed on a legal radio station. Smells like a pirate station to me, how notable are those though? Mr mark taylor (talk) 13:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
