A recent review of FCC records, available literature, and the Kentucky New Era indicates that WNKJ-TV never broadcast, even though a permit was awarded. The FCC lists the permit as deleted May 7, 1984. We do not maintain articles, except in exceptional circumstances, on TV station permits that were not constructed, which applies to WNKJ-TV and the second attempt at the allocation, WKKT-TV.

I disagree that this should have been deprodded and brought to AfD because the case is fairly clear. For the record, I wrote the prod text which has been copied here and would vote delete. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:58, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I don't see the WP:SIGCOV needed for this subject to meet the WP:GNG. Let'srun (talk) 15:30, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Given that the only source for the claimed "actual operation" of the station (that apparently never actually happened) was the Broadcasting Yearbook, I feel confident in deeming this another reason why sourcing solely or primarily to databases is not what Wikipedia is looking for in 2024. We need significant coverage, and stations that never were tend not to get that in the end. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 18:15, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as failing SIGCOV despite (possibly erroneous) database listings. ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:45, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
