Talk:WBEZ

message: "Its morning magazine program 848 was perplexingly named after the postal address of the station, 848 East Grand Avenue, although the program originally aired at 9:30. Despite being a 90 minute show, this enterprise also long and weirdly insisted upon the conceit that it had a "second hour."
This paragraph seems to be fairly subjective and opinionated.  How could it go about being fixed? | Sommermt 21:02, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I rewrote the "originally aired at 9:30" part, and removed the 90 minute / second hour part.   If it's important enough, and can be written in an NPOV manner, feel free to reinstate a rewritten sentence about the "second hour".  --Interiot 14:02, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Other articles on radio stations give a physical location for broadcasting. This article says instead, broadcasts in HD, in the lead. I came to the article wondering if WBEZ broadcasts from Sears Tower, like WFMT. I still do not know. Once here, I edited the History section, adding information from the current program changes and the change in CEO, also current at the start of October 2019.  Does anyone the place from which WBEZ broadcasts?. —Prairieplant (talk) 09:35, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps WBEZ and/or the building keeps the transmitter & antenna location out of the public eye on purpose, to foil any possible sabotage.  It appears that WBEZ once used a broacast antenna on the Sears/Willis Tower.  This source - https://radio-locator.com/info/WBEZ-FM - indicates, without giving any proof or source, that WBEZ broadcast from the top of the John Hancock Center, as of 2021. The Wikipedia article on the John Hancock Center gives no details about its "antenna farm"; ditto for the Center's website. Acwilson9 (talk) 04:29, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  From where does WBEZ broadcast? 

message: Presently, the WBEZ article and Chicago Public Media article are partially redundant with each other.  This causes problems for keeping both of the articles up to date, especially with respect to the radio programs produced and aired.  (As of several days ago, both articles had stale text discussing, as if they still airing, several programs that were discontinued several years ago; I corrected these sentences as best I could, while lacking exact-year sources.)
I propose that we move all text about radio programs produced and aired to only one of these two articles.  I'm thinking, but could be convinced otherwise, that that would be in the Chicago Public Media article.  I solicit the thoughts of other Wikipedia editors about this.  To keep this discussion all in one place, please add all of your comments on this proposal to Talk:Chicago_Public_Media, and NOT to Talk:WBEZ.
(Notes: 
* I'm not sure hwo to incorporate, or not, the Vocalo/WBEW programming into my proposal.)
* I do NOT propose that we combine the two articles, most especially because non-profit Chicago Public Media is about to expand into the newspaper business via a "white knight" acquisition of the Chicago Sun-Times, which until now has been nominally for-profit.)
