# Talk:WCPN

Only 2,000 of the 13,000 analog AM/FM radio stations in the U.S. have converted to HD; of those that have converted, all still broadcast via analog as mandated by the FCC. Moreoever, the first HD channel of every HD Radio station is a simulcast of the analog signal -- again, as mandated by the FCC.[1]
239 million analog radio listeners in the U.S. vs. only 3 million HD Radio units. By far, analog is still the preferred choice among radio consumers.[2]
Clearly, the infobox should reflect that analog technology is still the dominant form of transmission. It's also no secret that the radio industry has been heavily promoting HD Radio; by including only the HD Radio formats, one begins to question the credibility of this article's content. Wikipedia is an encyclopedic endeavor, not a brochure for iBiquity. Levdr1 (talk) 20:35, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

G'day! Seeing as this article's been waiting so long I figure I'll have a go at reviewing it. Hopefully shouldn't take too long. :) OliveYouBean (talk) 03:41, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

I'll have a look at 1b when I get the chance tomorrow. The fair use rationales are the only thing I'm super worried about, otherwise I'm sure this article can be promoted pretty quickly. Thanks for all your hard work on this! OliveYouBean (talk) 04:55, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
@OliveYouBean: Hi!!! I just started a new job this week but I'm ready to go! Thank you for the review!

1a: Fixed. :)
2a: Scott is generally regarded as a subject matter expert, particularly in television and radio.
6b: Those non-free logos actually date back to before my rewrite; in the case of the second logo, it was in the infobox prior to my rewrite being ported over in late March. Both were removed. :)
You might have also noticed there's a bit more info, turns out that The Morning Journal pre-2000 archives got added to NewsBank between the time I made the nomination up to today. As IABot is still not working properly, I manually archived them all. Also tweaked the lede as it felt it could be improved on a bit. Nathan Obral • he/him • t • c • 03:49, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! I've been pretty busy with work too, but should be able to do a bit more on this tomorrow. Hopefully we're almost done here. OliveYouBean (talk) 09:13, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the patience with all the edits (and additional content) I put in! These outstanding items should be tidied up:
1b: I found Len's comment and put it in instead. Trying to paraphrase it wasn't lending the same impact the direct quote offered.
Re: Palmer - fixed. Reread the article, it was not framed as a claim.
Redid that with "commented" and to better contextualize things.
"the current WMTX" works for me.
6: My rationale was in the mind of contextual significance, but this is a good point. I removed the picture, if it works better without, I can just get the image speedy deleted.
Hopefully these edits help! Have a good weekend. Nathan Obral • he/him • t • c • 06:33, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply and changes. I'm happy with everything now, so going to promote the article. Great job on it! OliveYouBean (talk) 08:26, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for all of your help and input, OliveYouBean! Do have a great day! Nathan Obral • he/him • t • c • 17:37, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

This article is totally wrong. It doesn't describe the actual WCPN 90.3 FM (which for decades featured jazz, news, talk, syndicated public radio programs, and many ethnic/nationalities programs) or its history or programming, or its notable on-air personalities such as Bobby Jackson or Dee Perry. How did such a thing happen? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 23:14, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

Radio station articles are written according by broadcast license history. The WCPN you are talking about is written about in the article for WCLV. It is standard operating procedure on this platform with a few exceptions. Nathan Obral • he/him/🦝 • t • c • 02:00, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
