Delete'''Inadequate evident it satisfies |notability. There is no inherent notability for low power community radio stations, which in some cases are part-time hobby activities of a few people with no press coverage and no demonstrated impact on their communities. I see too little information in the references to make the case that this one broadcasts over the air to a respectable coverage area. There is no statement of broadcast power or the antenna height or the coverage area, just a directory listing that it has a license as a community broadcaster and unreferenced claims that it has listeners in certain places. I did not see evidence that it broadcasts a regular schedule of locally originated programming, unless it is buried in the stations website. I see no newspaper coverage of its activities. Perhaps someone can find such information and add |reliable sources before the 5 day AFD period is up. I have seen some notable and some non-notable community or low power radio stations. I do not see the evidence that this one is notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. Edited to add: The station's website shows that it broadcasts with 100 watts of radiated power, which should be sufficient to provide a strong signal to a respectable coverage area for several miles around, depending on terrain and antenna. The website also demonstrates that it has a daily schedule of locally originated programming, and that it does several remote broadcasts a month of community activities. It also has a number of advertisers. I am changing my "Delete" to a "Keep" on the basis that it is a licensed broadcast station with a regular schedule of locally originated programming and sufficient radiated power to cover the communities it is licensed to serve. It is far more significant than a part time hobby operation with a few watts of output or a mere relay station rebroadcasting programming originating elsewhere. I would still like to see coverage by newspapers
