Comment: I was tagged because I technically started this article by converting a redirect into a stub. At the time, it was called WKRP-LP and redirected to WDDN-LP, which had become misleading due to call sign changes, so I needed to correct the record. The station’s only claim to fame, as far as I knew, was that it took the call sign “WKRP”, which is the subject of much (fictional) media lore. Nowadays, we’d probably just add a blurb to a disambiguation page and call it a day. Since then, the station has been renamed and WKRP-LP has been taken by an unrelated station that doesn’t even acknowledge this one in a hatnote. I don’t have any particular nostalgia for this article, but I’ll take this opportunity to thank Wcquidditch, Markman1, and Tvstationfan101 for correcting and expanding the article.

Merge with List of television stations in Tennessee#LPTV stations: the newer a television station is, the less likely it is that the significant coverage we now require exists. I'm only proposing a merge because the current programming information is currently missing at the list (which still reflects a previous silence); in spirit I'm really proposing a redirect as an {{R to list}} and an alternative to deletion. We simply no longer base entire articles only on FCC records, brief mentions, non-independent sourcing, or any other non-GNG sources. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 17:50, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
