Talk:WWRV

Priorly WBBR

There should be some mention about the prior WBBR 1330 radio station owned by Jehovah's Witnesses, which according to the WBBR article was an earlier "incarnation" of WWRV. __meco 01:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Much of the content of WEVD should be in here, as it primarily covers this license. Also, the WBBR -> WPOW license should be its own article, though not much of it is covered in this page. Raymie (t • c) 21:11, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

• Disagree: WEVD was on 1050AM, which is now WEPN (AM). The WEPN article mentions WEVD, so any merging should go to the WEPN article. That said, I don't think any merging should occur. There is plenty of information on the WEVD page to justify it's own article and it could be hatnoted to the WEPN article. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 18:21 on July 18, 2020 (UTC) • #WearAMask • #BlackLivesMatter

• Neutralhomer, there's little information about either of WEVD-FM 97.9 or WEVD at 1050 here. All but the final paragraph cover WEVD when it was at 1330, so most of the article content belongs at WWRV. I've made a few changes to the existing text to correct some radio-related information (they had NARBA in 1932!), as WEVD is one of our few articles on a radio station that was not really written by people with a radio background.

Regardless, I feel that there is enough for this article to remain here. We don't have to merge every article into it's current incarnation. When you do that, you lose parts when the merging process (ie: trimming) occurs. This should just remain as is. -

• Support: WWRV is the same license as the original, until-1981 WEVD — and most of the content at WEVD is about that original incarnation, not the later 1050 AM incarnation that the Forward acquired when it parted with 97.9 FM in 1989, years after the 1330 license was sold. (Indeed, as it is, there's actually a bit more detail regarding the 1050 version of WEVD in the WEPN (AM) article than on the separate WEVD page. For one, the WEVD article does not mention the hosts that were on the "News Talk 1050" incarnation; the WEPN article does. And while pre-1989 WEVD may have at least some nominal programming lineage to what aired on 1050 from then to 2001, it otherwise has nothing to do with what's now WEPN.) --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 22:48, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
