[edit] Xtremebitz

Not notable. Appears to just be a podcast Bill.matthews 19:36, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

wikipedia -- not notable, appears to just be a website. Xtremebitz is NOT just a podcast unless wikipedia is "just a website"

Podcast or not, it's still a broadcast. Besides, it's a live online radio show on the second largest alternative station online. If that's not notable, I dont' know what is.

a PODCAST is notable by Wikipedia standards. Please refer to this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28web%29

Many of the bands interviewed on this show are quite notable, the show attracts notable guests, who are you to judge the notability of the show? 72.135.236.226 10:56, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


  • Broadcast live every week with thousands of listeners, as well as an often downloaded podcast of the live show.
  • Interviews many large bands (a list of which is on the page), who all have their own detailed Wikipedia articles.
  • Broadcast simultaneously on 3 large internet radio networks, including idobi radio.

Here's a link to an outside source reporting on the show: http://www.punknews.org/article.php?sid=11760


The day Xtremebitz isn't notable will be the same day hell freezes over! Shouldn't people be able to look the show up? The show has so many listeners and it just keeps growing and it would be in wikipedieas best interest to keep xtremebitz on the site, when xtremebitz gets really big then wikipedia will be begging to have them back if they remove them.

Xtremebitz isn't just a small thing, it's big. It has listeners all over the place, it interviews bands and gives growing bands a chance to spread the word about themselves. And if a member of a band wants to look up what they're getting themselves into they should be able to using wikipedia


Xtremebitz is great, it should stay on wikipedia. Not only is it a great radioprogram but also it encourages freedom of speech. Wikipedia has lots of articles about drugs, addictive ones too. And Xtremebitz is addictive so people should know what to do if they are an addict
