This article is nothing more than a puff advertising scribble for the current station going by these call letters and about which there is nothing special or noteworthy. This present article should be deleted or modified to show that WFUN-AM in broadcasting history belongs to the station in Miami, Florida which supplied the djs and format ideas for Swinging Radio England and helped to create the sound of the "Swinging Sixties". That station does have a history of note and this current entry is but a joke inserted into Wikipedia like free advertising. There is a wealth of broadcasting history about WFUN in Miami that is worth reporting and knowing.

Comments such as indicating that the current WFUN is "non-noteable" do not conform to Wikipedia's NPOV. The radio station currently broadcasting on 970 kHz is noteable to those in the radio industry and listeners in northeast Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania. The station's history dates back to the early 1940s, and it even spawned a television station during the 1950s when UHF stations like it were doomed. The article otherwise conforms others created for Wikipedia:WikiProject Radio Stations, although it is a stub and it should be expanded.

The history of WFUN in Miami is important, but its detail doesn't belong here. It belongs in the article on WAXY. Please note that the current Wikipedia naming convention states: "Where a station has changed call signs, please put the station's entire history in its current call sign". See Wikipedia:Naming conventions#North America. There is no article on WAXY. I suggest that you write an article on the history of the radio station on 790 in Miami. This should include the rise and fall of WFUN there, the change to WNWS and the present-day WAXY.--Hillrhpc 03:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:WFUN logo.png

Image:WFUN logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
