WPEN (AM) → WKDN (AM) – Radio station changed its format and call letters on Friday evening. Station under new ownership of Family Radio (Family Stations, Inc.).Radiokid1010 (talk) 19:40, 22 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

That's entirely reasonable, although the move should be to WKDN to replace the redirect. However, the FCC has not yet recorded this call sign change and, per long-standing practice, we don't move a station's article until the FCC has made it official. I've included a link below to the FCC database so you can easily check to see if or when they make the move. - Dravecky (talk) 16:58, 24 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

    - After researching, I found a radio station using the WKDN-FM calls, licensed in State College, Pennsylvania.
      - Actually, that FM station is just WKDN, no suffix, so that will have to change before the AM can change. - Dravecky (talk) 02:06, 27 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

And somebody went ahead and moved it anyway. Argh. They're way ahead of the FCC on this. Not good. - Dravecky (talk) 17:11, 27 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
- The station's call sign history now shows it as WKDN, and that the change was indeed on December 21. (The FCC sometimes takes a few days to reflect reality when a call change accompanies a sale.) Also, the State College station is now WKDN-FM as of the same day. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 07:42, 29 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
