Draft:Christmas Radio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: There is currently not a single source that's reliable, independent, secondary, and offers significant coverage. There are three copies of the same press release (which means it's just one source, and it is neither independent nor secondary); one trivial mention in a primary source listing a large number of radio stations; and one YouTube link, apparently to a transmission from the station itself. bonadea contributions talk 18:15, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
