Strange article without an obvious purpose or precedent. This consists entirely of a list of broadcast relay stations (i.e. transmitters that rebroadcast another signal instead of originating their own programming) in one individual media market which then proceeds to link to the stations that actually provide the programming — with the added bonus that the article explicitly states that the boundaries of the market have been subjectively chosen to include some outlying areas and exclude other outlying areas for no obvious, objective or reliably sourced reason. Basically this seems to exist as a content fork of Media in Cheyenne, Wyoming, meant entirely to provide an alternative view that the market includes Laramie and excludes Scottsbluff, without sourcing to actually support that view, even though the main article says the exact opposite.
And indeed, no article anywhere in Wikipedia links to this at all (its only inbound is a redirect from another variant of the same title), because any possible link to any of the radio stations can always just go directly to the station itself rather than having to two-step its way through this.
No other city anywhere in the United States (or the world) has a "List of City broadcast translators" as a separate topic from its "Media in City", and there's no real indication here of why Cheyenne's translators would need special treatment that other cities' translators aren't getting.
