The result was soft delete. Forgoing the customary two relists because this has already gone through a WP:NPASR, and anyone who is actually interested in defending this article would have done so by now. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:10, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Relist following a no consensus because no participation closure on the first nomination -- but this is still an improperly sourced article about a radio program. This one is syndicated, so it would pass WP:NMEDIA if it were properly referenced to reliable source coverage -- but of the 44 "references" here, fully 75 per cent of them are the primary source webpages of stations that carry the show (which are not sources that can confer notability by themselves, because they're not independent of the subject) and nearly all of the others are press releases and WP:BLOGS. There's just one source here that qualifies as actual media coverage, and it's a blurb which isn't about this show, but simply verifies a tangential fact about a charity event the hosts are involved in while not actually naming the hosts in conjunction with it at all -- which means it doesn't contribute notability either, and even if it did one source isn't enough to pass WP:GNG by itself. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can source it properly, but it's not entitled to keep an article just because it exists, if the article is sourced like this.
