Fair use rationale for Image:Radio 5 1990.png

Image:Radio 5 1990.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

alleged closure

The station didn't close. It was relaunched. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 17:31, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. The final night of programming was clearly billed at the time as "Radio 5's last night", Five Live was launched as a completely new service, and all of the non-sport programmes were new. Just because it uses the same frequency and has a similar name doesn't make it the same station.

They may have called it the last night but it remained a talk station with a regrettable blokish, sporting bias. It would be just as absurd to have a new W'pedia page every time a station got a new letterhead and jingle-package. Sensibly, material about BBC7 and 4extra is on the same page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.126.135.180 (talk) 17:40, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But on the other hand, the Home Service and Radio 4 have separate pages despite actually being the same station. I think precedent suggests leaving things as they are. Jacko1972 (talk) 14:22, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

John Peel...

...had a show on this station, but I can't find any refs. Pollythewasp (talk) 21:13, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

14th December 2014 edit

I'm not sure I understand the rationale for this edit, it just seems to be someone's personal style preference. Personally I liked it better the way it read before. Any thoughts? Jacko1972 (talk) 15:10, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
