Talk:List of radio stations in Georgia (U.S. state)

Untitled

In the page the article belongs to, you will see the basic characteristics of the stations, which are:

The station's call letters

The nearest whole number to the station's frequency on the dial if the tenths digit of the station is not a 5 and the station is no lower than 91.5 (FM)

The station's frequency on the dial if the tenths digit of the station's frequency is a 5, or the station is 91.5 or lower. (Please see the FM radio page for why the tenths digit has to be odd.) (FM)

The station's amplitude on the dial (AM)

The city the radio station is in the metropolitan area of (At this moment, we have only Atlanta, Albany, Carrollton, Macon, Savannah, and Augusta stations, but soon, there could be more stations such as Columbus and Valdosta.)

The station's format

If you have any advanced characteristics of an FM or AM radio station to add, please put them in one of the links mentioned on the article (whichever station it belongs to.) The basic characteristics are the ones explained above. Here are some advanced characteristics:

The exact frequency if the tenths digit is not a 5 and the station is no lower than 91.5 (FM)

Any morning shows (e.g. Steve & Vikki) that the station has

What the station historically was (if already mentioned, you may put it into more detail)

The company (e.g. Clear Channel) that owns the station

A list of songs with female singers that the station plays (FM)

The station's official homepage

In what community is the station located EXACTLY, if not in the city limits of the city it is in the metropolitan area of

Anything else except the basic characteristics mentioned above

---

A list of songs with female singers that the station plays

Why would you list that? Adam Bishop 20:52, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)

To answer a question someone suddenly asked...

Suppose you know of a song with a female singer and you wish you want to know what radio station plays it without having to buy a CD that has it. Such a list would certainly be help.

What should articles say?

Radiojon says Wikipedia's articles for Atlanta radio stations should have FM in them, but Hephaestos says they should not. What do you think?

Question: Should Atlanta radio stations have FM in their article names?

• Votes for Yes: Radiojon
• Votes for No: Hephaestos

It is important that article titles for all broadcast stations in the U.S. have the -FM, -AM, -TV, or -LP suffix in them, because each is a separate pool of letters/callsigns. As long as they are used outside the area of any other station with the same letters, there is no need for a second station to ask the first for permission to reuse those letters in another pool. For example, WASU-FM and WASU-LP (see WASU). Only in the case of translator stations should the suffix be omitted, and then it should only redirect to the parent station. –radiojon 23:29, 2004 Mar 18 (UTC)

A user named TheCustomOfLife says that TV stations should not have the TV suffix if there are no other stations that they share the same callsign with. 66.245.92.116 13:30, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Can we please not start up "votes" every time there is a query about naming articles? We have conventions (see Wikipedia:Naming conventions) precisely to avoid this sort of argument breaking out on every talk page. From Wikipedia:Naming conventions: "Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature." And: "Use the most common name of a person or thing that does not conflict with the names of other people or things." -- Oliver P. 02:40, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

WHTA

Uh oh! I saw that this page is linked to from a set of Wikipedia articles with misspellings. It says that "WHTA" is a mis-spelling of "what". This really isn't so. WHTA are the call letters of a radio station. 66.32.82.13 18:23, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

title

This is the most awkward title I have ever seen... ok, maybe I exaggerate. But it's rather awkward, you must admit... :) ugen64 01:38, Apr 21, 2004 (UTC)

• What is a less awkward title for this article?? 66.32.137.112 20:06, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Would List of radio stations in the U.S. state of Georgia be any better? -- Oliver P. 22:57, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)

AM article titles

Somebody wrote on User Talk:Radiojon that AM articles should have just the call letters, but that FM articles should include FM. Does this make sense?? 66.245.18.154 00:47, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

Basic, Advanced, Business

There are basic and advanced characteristics of a station, as you know. However, according to what I saw at Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, there is a third kind, called business, which the rules say not to put on any Wikipedia article. What does this include??

1. Phone numbers

Categories of Atlanta FM radio stations

Wikipedians are now working on putting articles into categories?? Any NPOV categories for Atlanta FM radio stations?? 66.245.3.129 21:49, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Help!

I put in the radio stations by state template and I got a bad category; namely the dis-ambiguation category Category:Georgia. Any way to fix this?? 66.245.3.195 17:27, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Recent Move

Does anyone else disagree with the recent move to "List of radio stations in Georgia by city"? Considering that Georgia is also a country, I thought it was wise to keep the "(U.S. State)" portion of the title. It helps to keep readers from getting confused. Also, does the format by which we list the stations really matter? I guess the new title just seems to be unweildy to me. Maclyn611 23:13, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Note: To whoever sees this question; here are 2 important notes:

1. The page move was brought to my attention when I saw a template on the upper right that allowed me to create another list of radio stations in Georgia, one by call letters.
2. I don't think it is likely that a page for the radio stations in the country of Georgia will be created at any time soon. Anyone disagree?? Georgia guy 23:15, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I understand your premise #1, and I think it makes sense. As for your second premise, what we need to do is to follow form in these matters. I wouldn't want to set a negative precedence concerning the title "Georgia." However, I would like the article to be "List of radio stations in Georgia (U.S. State) by city" but I think that's a little bit too bulky. Have we considered putting all the formats for station-listing on the same page and just making sub-links? That would prevent the proliferation of articles "by city" "by alphabetical," etc...

Adjacent markets

I'd like to point out that much of far northwest Georgia is served by the Chattanooga market, which of course is in Tennessee. Likewise, the border area of east-central Alabama is closer to Columbus, Georgia, and parts of South Carolina are in the media markets of Savannah, Georgia and Augusta, Georgia. A small portion of far-southeast Georgia would get stations mostly from Jacksonville, which is only two counties south of the Florida state line. I think it would be wise to link to those markets.   –radiojon 21:24, 2005 Apr 27 (UTC)

The other Georgia

Please add link or redlink to radio stations of Georgia the country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.131.220.118 (talk) 16:17, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Are there at least 10 such radio stations that are likely going to have Wikipedia articles in the near future?? Georgia guy (talk) 17:04, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Race

Did God say in the Bible "races are not to mix?" Where is it found in the Bible? 2600:6C5A:87F:9074:80A0:9ED3:840A:177B (talk) 14:31, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
