I don't see why this station is any less notable than many other "small" radio stations.Rudy2alan 12:09, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie: Article has undergone a 9.3x expansion in the last seven days to >3500B, and appears to be sourced, neutral, and plagiarism-free. Hook is interesting, although allegation seems to say that WKXG did this "taking turns" shpiel to broadcast without license—that should probably be clarified in the hook. A QPQ has been done, so we're almost there—great work! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 06:32, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
