Merge proposal

Latest comment: 30 days ago4 comments3 people in discussion

I propose merging WZUM (AM) into WZUM-FM. Both stations are owned and operated by Pittsburgh Public Media. Both stations broadcast the same content; they just do so on different frequencies to reach a larger area. Having two articles seems redundant. Joesom333 (talk) 17:43, 12 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oppose: While the stations are a simulcast currently, they had separate histories prior to 2016. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:15, 13 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support WZUM (AM) is currently a simulcast of WZUM-FM. We can include the History section of the AM station within the merged article itself. Joesom333 (talk) 19:19, 13 October 2024 (UTC) Same user as nominator.Reply
Oppose They may be simulcasts now, but they have substantial independent pre-2016 histories. It may be the case that an AM and FM are written together, but they likely had to be co-located and co-owned for the entire history with substantial conceptual overlap. (WNNT-FM covers an AM in the same locality that never provided separate service. WCCN was simulcast AM and FM for 28 years and even then would still have high overlap in content.) These stations do not meet that criterion. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:58, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
