message: There seems to be confusion about National Amusements ownership over Entercom after the acquisition of CBS Radio. All of the press says that CBS shareholders control a 72% stake in the company, which does not mean National Amusements does. In fact, CBS filed a form that explicitly states the contrary. I would ask the users who have changed this information to check their sources before making assumptions. PcPrincipal (talk) 18:05, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

* :Entercom → 
* :Radio.com → 
– Normally I would be bold and move right away but this is a bit of a unique situation and warrants discussion. Entercom announced today that it is rebranding both itself (the company) and its Radio.com platform as “Audacy”. The new corporate URL makes clear the eventual plan is for the company name to change to Audacy Inc. but the press release doesn’t indicate that that’s happened yet and it’s just a d/b/a name for now (otherwise I’d have suggested “Audacy Inc.” for that new title). I would expect that the consumer-facing audio platform will be the main topic searched for Audacy going forward so I’m suggesting that be made the main “Audacy” article, but I see how the case could be made for either one. — stickguy (:^›)— || talk || 13:51, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

text: While changing a brand name and ticker symbol does not necessarily require a corporate name change (e.g. Research In Motion rebranded to BlackBerry and changed its ticker several months before it could legally change its name), it turns out the name has changed to "Audacy, Inc." effective April 9 per this SEC filing (which in fact was filed on March 30 but we unfortunately missed during the prior discussion). So changing the name is now indeed appropriate.— stickguy (:^›)— || talk || 00:41, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Moving it back because of be above discussion is plainly a poor move that leaves the article with a factually outdated title. The above consensus is based on an incorrect and outdated understanding of the facts. It can and must be ignored per WP:NOTBURO and WP:IAR as it leaves the encyclopedia plainly worse off in factual accuracy. oknazevad (talk) 01:59, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

text: Well, , this may or may not be a poor move. Editors are talking just above as if the move request further above took place in the previous century. This name change does not rely solely on a local consensus of editors. It relies on the community consensus found in Wikipedia policy, such as in WP:COMMONNAME and more specifically WP:NAMECHANGES. For further info try WP:OFFICIALNAME. So to you Jason.cinema, veteran editor  and others, I ask that you read the policy again and then use the Article titles policy to justify the rename from the still recognizable to our readers "Entercom" to the just changed to "Audacy" as can be found in recent reliable, independent, secondary sources.

thread_title: Post move request

message: The title says it all. Entercom and the new company officially launched when they rang the NYSE bell on 04/09, and are now a brand new company, with a new stock ticker symbol. Jason.cinema (talk) 05:21, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Entercom no longer exists. When will this wiki entry change to Audacy? 

message: Proposal to merge Audacy and Entercom together. Since they both have the same name now and have become more tightly integrated, I wonder if it would be better to just merge them together. This would also resolve the dispute about the name of this article. Saucy[talk – contribs] 10:12, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: I've been following this conversation, the activity on the page and the announcement surrounding the name change. I spent many years in broadcasting and this rebrand is a big deal. I see this change continually compared to iHeartMedia and iHeartRadio. It is not the same thing, the Radio.com name is being retired and the app will now fall under the Audacy brand. The company name is also now Audacy. They will not be called or known as "Audacy, Inc." This is covered extensively in the media. I am a new editor here, but I think that an entirely new page may be the solution to solving this whole discussion. Both pages only have information up through 2019 and there has been a lot of activity since then. I also feel like the company has many other partnerships, acquisitions and divestitures that could be included. I think naming these two pages in the ways that have been discussed above would be confusing. Looking at the Wikipedia policies WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NAMECHANGES, it does seem that the page name should be Audacy (that is how the company is referred to in the coverage after the rebrand). Radio.com no longer exists, so to name that page Audacy does not follow the policies. Also a merge page, seems like it might work but there is a lot of history and could get sloppy as mentioned by a few editors, so I have taken it upon myself to start a sandbox draft of how a new page could look: AmberBeer84 sandbox. Anyone want to work on that with me? I am open to suggestions and commentary. AmberBeer84 (talk) 18:19, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
