- Comment: First UK radio article! And this one was held up by sticks and stones. It also had a major date error which had propagated to three timelines and a YouTube video title.

Hi Sammi Brie, glad to see some interest in British local radio and good work sorting out the date error, especially as it had spread! Review: article more than 5x expanded from 15 August; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what looks to be reliable sources; I unfortunately don't have access to most of the sources but happy to AGF there is no overly close paraphrasing from them, Earwig check is clear and I didn't find any issues in a spotcheck on some I could access; hook facts are interesting enough to me. mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited therein; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 12:53, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
