WNPE (FM)

Converted from a redirect by Raymie (talk). Self-nominated at 03:52, 9 October 2019 (UTC).

  • Article is new and long enough. QPQ has been completed. No pings on Earwigs. Regarding the hook, it seems like the 100,000 figure is more an aspirational listener target rather than an actual numerical expansion ("he hopes that the stations will add another 100,000 listeners and supporters from southern Rhode Island as a result of the signal expansion"). I think the hook is interesting enough without it, so either removing "more than 100,000 people in" from the hook or finding an additional source to substantiate the 100,000 figure should be fine.
