Formats/Owners

There isn't consistancy on what is parenthetical after the stations. For instance, KOMP and KXPT have the same owner (Lotus Broadcasting); KOMP has a link to independent radio station, KXPT has a link to classic rock, it's format. KLUC, one of 4 FMs owned by Infinity/CBS, has a link to CBS, where as the other 3 Infinity stations link to their formats. Which makes more sense to list, a station's affiliation or its format? -Satori 18:07, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Network affilation, if not available then format and if not available then owner or nothing. When I added this information I was getting it from multiple sources so I took what was available and used different entries. I did not re-verify this information as articles were added, so there could be some differences that need fixing. Ownership should really be covered in the article. If you want to clean it up, please feel free to do so. Vegaswikian 18:47, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Network affiliation is meaningless (for commercial stations) in today's radio marketplace. Unless the station is running a satellite-delivered format 24x7, a station will purchase its programming from whichever syndicator offers it. The only thing a "network affiliation" in the traditional sense gives a station is a top-hour newscast (which many stations don't run) and access to news actualities and features which are irrelevant to most formats. I've taken a stab at updating based on industry sources. 121a0012 20:48, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

When did satellite become FM?

I have been deleting the addition of satellite broadcasts since they are not FM. Does someone know something new? Vegaswikian 21:02, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not FM or AM; however, it mentions information that people may find necessary in the market area. No need to be strictly defined if it is mention as SatRad and not falsely claim as FM.TravKoolBreeze 04:47, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not buying that. If you follow that logic forward, the same entry belongs in the AM and the TV templates as well. Considering that someone just split AM and FM, adding in satellite simply seem totally opposite of what other editors are trying to do. Bottom line is that it has nothing to do with FM. Right?
