Chase FM[edit]

Defunct Net radio program that had no impact whatsoever on the broadcasting world. The lack of sources doesn't help its cause. And Adoil Descended (talk) 20:57, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This wasn't actually a "radio program", but a station. It isn't entirely clear from the copy whether it was a community radio station broadcasting on a FM frequency, or an online radio station. @RadioFan: I don't know if you would know anything more about this.

Delete not clear what this is, station or program, and I'm not finding reliable sources to answer this question. RadioFan (talk) 03:31, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As a certified radiogeek, I understand what the article is saying well enough to clarify some of the confusion expressed above: this was an internet radio service, not a terrestrial station, although many of its staff members were previously involved in a different project which briefly aired on FM via a Restricted Service License (a temporary class of license typically granted as a "special event" station that will normally exist only for a couple of weeks, and thus has no guarantee of permanent wikinotability.) This project appears to have applied for a terrestrial license, although it shut down entirely in the same year in which it would have found out whether its application was approved or not — in all likelihood shutting down because it was not approved. So, yeah, this is a topic that should never actually have been created in the first place, because even when it was active it didn't satisfy WP:NMEDIA's criteria for the notability of a radio station — internet radio services do not get an automatic "because they exist" freebie if they can't be sourced over WP:GNG. And RSL stations don't get that either, so there would be no case for rewriting this as an article about the earlier RSL project either. Bearcat (talk) 18:34, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
