As these stations have stopped broadcasting, it could be beneficial to the reader to see their information together, as they say just about the same things, with WBOX (AM) having more historical information. Ktkvtsh (talk) 14:17, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We don't typically merge station pages together. Now, we can mention connecting history on the respective page (eg: history from the AM station that relates to the FM station, etc.), but we don't normally combine the pages. I'll ping our Gang of Three and see what they say. (@Sammi Brie, Mlaffs, and Wcquidditch:) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 10:38, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd agree. There's a substantially longer history for the AM station; it deserves its own article. I might be different if the FM had been launched to serve as a simulcast of the AM right from the start, and the two stations had carried the same program throughout their history, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
