Delete, current sources are all press releases - in other sources "Legacy Broadcasting" is just a footnote tag - unable to find more sources on the internet, made difficult by other results coming up name - solidly fails WP:GNG RetroCosmos ^talk 17:53, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The company's entire existence seems to be solely for regulatory purposes and the stations it ran were designed to be as non-competitive as possible in their markets until a new owner could buy them out under a more friendly FCC regulatory environment. The company's 'owners' were effectively caretaker managers who also fulfilled the 'minority and women' checkmark to smooth over the FCC until they could sell again, and this business was never a serious effort to establish a competitive broadcaster.

Delete: There's really not much you can say about a company that basically only owns/owned "excess" stations following another company's mergers, so the lack of the requisite significant coverage isn't exactly a surprise. Mentions of the company in the articles for their stations is sufficient; this never really warranted an article, and very little will be lost with its deletion.

Delete – per above, and Fails WP:GNG due to mainly press release sources. TLA (talk) 05:06, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
