Talk:WJJS (FM)

message: I listen to this station. Between 2007 and 2011, I remember noticing that the station changed formats from Light Adult Contemporary to Oldies/Classic Hits. This information needs to be included in the article.

replies: text: That source you have there is just a mirror of this very page, not a reliable source. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 21:23, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

text: Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed. Although there is a tag to indicate a source is needed, the article indicates the current format is Oldies and Classic Hits. So it's unclear what change you're asking for. Rivertorch (talk) 21:44, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: What needs to be updated is in the History section. We need a new sentence at the end of the first paragraph, saying that the station currently broadcasts as Oldies/Classic Hits, playing music from the 1960s to the 1980s and we need a "reliable" source for that. I've tried searching for a source on Google but have been unsuccessful so far. - 72.86.13.155 (talk) 22:14, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia articles typically don't use words such as "currently" because doing so inevitably make articles outdated. (See the relevant section in the Manual of Style.) With some misgivings, since it remains unsourced (Clear Channel apparently doesn't see fit to identify the format on the station's web site), I've changed the wording to simply say that the format switched to Oldies and Classic Hits, with no mention of when the change happened or whether it's still in effect. The wording should not explicitly state that it's still in effect unless that can be sourced, and it's doubtful that leaving this edit request open will lead to a source being found.
