Article is new enough (created 29 May) and long enough (2,349 characters of prose).
Article is neutral and contains sufficient inline citations. Earwig finds no copyvio issues.
Both hooks are neutral and of adequate length, and both are cited inline in the article. IMO ALT1 is less interesting and more wordy, so I prefer ALT0. However, I think ALT0 itself could be snappier if it were shortened to simply:
ALT2: ... that Brazil has extended its FM broadcasting band to allow AM radio stations to move to FM?
QPQ is done.
Article is almost good to go; would like to hear the nominator's thoughts on ALT2. Armadillo pteryx 20:25, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Armadillopteryx: One thing is that in some areas, there is enough room in 88–108 MHz to accommodate migrating stations, but not in large cities. Not all of the migrating stations are going on the extended band. I could see ALT2 working if it were worded "to allow more AM radio stations to move to FM" (emphasis mine for demonstration).

@Sammi Brie: Oh, got it! That makes sense. I prefer your new suggestion, as most people probably don't have enough background to know the additional information you just provided (at least I don't ). So how about something like:
ALT3: ... that Brazil has extended its FM broadcasting band to allow more AM radio stations to migrate to FM?

@Armadillopteryx: Yup! Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:34, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, ALT3 is good to go! Armadillo pteryx 01:39, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
