= No evidence this company passes WP:NCOMPANY/GNG. BEFORE shows only few mentions in passing, primarily routine press releases (mergers, acquisitions, etc.). No in-depth coverage. Non news/PR coverage is limited to single in-passing mention in minor scholarly article ( [1]) which does not discuss it in depth, just acknowledges its existence in passing. I don't think that's enough. While a merge has been suggested, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter Kotaba. Hopefully we don't nd up with two AfDs closed with the verdict 'not notable, merge to one another'. I think neither the company nor its owner is notable, unfortunately.

Keep: I found a few FCC documents and memorandum orders about the station. I already added them in the article. Those sources make the article good enough to pass WP:GNG.ASTIG😎 ( ICE T • ICE CUBE) 02:56, 25 March 2020 (UTC)- @ ICE T: I am sorry but FCC documents about routine operations such as business licences are PRIMARY and in no way estabilish notability. You might as well argue that someone is notable because we found their birth certificate or employment contract. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:17, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Company fails WP:NCORP due to lacking in-depth coverage in multiple secondary sources. FCC filings don't work as a notability source since they are trivial coverage that every radio station has to file. Plus, the citation doesn't add anything to the article anyway because it was just added on to a sentence that already had two citations. Which is semi (in an extremely minor way) ref bombing. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 11:51, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, fails GNG/ WP:NCORP. HighKing ++ 16:36, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
