Fair use rationale for Image:Metroradio.GIF

Image:Metroradio.GIF is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NightOwls Demerger

Internet explorer crashed so here I am typing exactly what I wrote before again! Anyway, NightOwls cliams to be Britains most listened to late night radio phone in/talk show and after much research and looking at the previous version of the NightOwls page, I beleive it would be good to demerge this section back into a page of its own. The last version of the NightOwls page was poorly built and included irrelivant information for an encyclopedia. I would be happy to contribute towards a demerger and revamped version of the NightOwls page. Anyway, its best to discuss it first as otherwise someone's only going to revert my edits. So, if you have any comments, if would like to express your feelings on the matter, or any advice, please help in discussion. Thank you AceLink™ 19:23, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The best, and only way, to construct an article that the community considers good are to use a lot of verifiable reliable sources. If you cite all of your sources it will be less likely to be removed. Avoid fancruft! The JPS ^{talk to me} 19:34, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks JPS, will do! AceLink™ 18:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 18 September 2012

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Format

Currently the format is described in the infobox as "CHR, news, speech and talk", however there are no news programmes on the station apart from the news bulletins. Also what's the difference between speech and talk radio? A better description would be something like "CHR and talk" or just "CHR" because the only talk programme (Nightowls) is only on for a few hours late at night. The TFM infobox will need to match Metro's as they share output. Any thoughts on this? (Note the OFCOM Station Format is "A LOCALLY-ORIENTED CONTEMPORARY AND CHART MUSIC AND INFORMATION STATION FOR 15-44 YEAR-OLDS IN THE TYNE AND WEAR AREA.") —RedScrees (talk) 14:57, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
