Doesn't the station still have a historical significance or did it lose its significance when it became owned by a religious broadcaster?StreamingRadioGuide (talk) 06:26, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've been told that this station is off the air and has been for a number of years. Can anyone in the area confirm this? --RadioTheodric (talk) 20:47, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am not in the area, but by way of VARTV, I can confirm the station is on the air. - NeutralHomer ^talk|edits 21:34, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I took out the part about the station being off the air. I found an actual source, even though it's three years old. That's when the station was off the air.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:52, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Variety sources

@Neutralhomer: You keep removing information referencing Variety, and I really don't understand why. You said here that the sources were just "thrown in", and here that "there was nothing regarding WLVA", but that's just not true.

Even ignoring the fact that the citations provided enough information for you to verify them in print, I provided convenience links to online copies in the Internet Archive. My best guess is that you're looking at the wrong pages in the Internet Archive versions – it's a (I think) weekly magazine but the versions in the Internet Archive are per-month, so you sometimes need to scroll through a way to find the correct date. If you look at the PDF version of the August 1934 editions (77 MB download), for example, you'll find the article titled "WLVA, Lynchburg, fights local rags" half-way down the first column of page 31 of the PDF. Likewise the PDF version of the November 1934 edition (85 MB download) has the article titled "WLVA, Lynchburg, VA., rebroadcasts WLW" half-way down the fifth column of page 108 of the PDF (being page 36 of the 13 November edition).

What's your objection to these sources?

{{ping|I went through each one of these "Variety" edits. This one is an ad, this one shows nothing regarding WLVA or Glenn Jackson, this one shows nothing regarding WLVA or WLW. The others are the same. The references given on the WLVA page can not be found on the "Variety" magazine links given.

As I went through the sources one-by-one, I looked at them both online and on tablet, in case there was a tablet-to-desktop (or vice versa) mistake. There wasn't. The page numbers mentioned in the references simply do not correspond to the articles mentioned in the references.

The BURDEN is on you to put CORRECT references with CORRECT page numbers. Without those, the information is considered OR and can be removed from the page per OR and RS. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 18:05, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are you only looking at that first page? That first link, for example, is to the Internet Archive copy of the entirety of the August 1934 editions of Variety; if your browser supports the interface you can click on the pages to page through the magazines, or you can use the "Download options" section to download the magazine archives in different formats. The first thing you see in that first link is an advert, yes, but that's just the first page of the many pages in each source. If you page through to the cited page number, you'll get to the content that makes up the citation. —me_and 21:54, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, I am looking at the cited page number, nothin'. I checked each page number at the top, nothin' on those pages regarding WLVA. I wouldn't be making this big of a fuss over a page off or something. Hell, if it was that, I'd have fixed it myself. This is something that just plain isn't there. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:07, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Here's a screenshot of what I see (forgive Dropbox link, it's just the easiest way to share the thing rather than work out the exact copyright categories for Wiki* upload). I got there from this link then clicking the right-hand page a few times. On the right-hand page of that screenshot, you can just about make out the date as "Tuesday August 7, 1934" in the top-left, the page number as 31 in the top-right, and the "WVLA, Lynchburg, fights local rags" article heading part-way down the first column. You can zoom in on the live page, but I wanted a screenshot that showed the whole lot.

If you're paging through the linked archives to page 31 of the August 7, 1934 edition, but you're not seeing that, I'm baffled; what are you seeing!?

I've just checked myself, and the sources appear to check out. Archive.org is tricky to navigate as page numbers don't link correctly, but if you use the internal search function you'll find the stories as claimed (here's "Glenn Jackson Kills Self", for instance). ‑ Iridescent 22:27, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
