Dunno why this was considered a non-NPOV stub, but I removed all that stuff. --Jamiew 07:38, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WNYU's AM signal gone.

I noticed that WNYU's little-known AM signal (first on AM 810 and then AM 800 during my time there in the mid-late 90s) has finally fizzled out. :(

Those of us on the AM station did more free-form programming for the campus dorms; compared to WNYU-FM's block-programming. During weekday evenings, however, we would just re-broadcast the 89 FM signal.

Yeah, AM is out, redubbed '.ORG' since it's on the net (including iTunes Radio). We're also still quasi in the dorms via NYU-TV, but almost none of the dorms leave the TV's tuned in to it anymore... --Jamiew 18:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Frequency Allocation

The article states The frequency of 89.1 in the New York metropolitan area is actually reserved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for the United Nations.....Because this was never used by the U.N., WNYU and WFDU were allowed to broadcast on it, on a shared time basis. What would happen if the UN ever decided to use this frequency allocation ? Would WNYU and WFDU be forced to look for another frequency or close down ? 90.220.149.152 (talk) 19:51, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's exactly right. 2603:7000:3F00:11B:5CA9:CCEC:36E9:2C84 (talk) 18:54, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

History section: Copyright issue

I'm really sorry, but I felt the need to delete the entire section on WNYU-FM's history. It has clearly been cut and pasted from here. Please see WP:COPYVIO for why Wikipedia cannot take text from other websites unless it has been released under a Creative Commons licence, which I don't think this was. Hopefully, a keen editor can do a simple re-write which will be acceptable. Please do not revert this deletion unless it's clear that either I have made a mistake, or that the text was indeed released under a CC licence. Nick Moyes (talk) 11:30, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, in recent years this issue has been fixed, but someone continues to delete any sections on station history. Is it still not adequately worded? I am the General Manager of the WNYU station and I would really appreciate it if my edits were not deleted, as I think it is important that the history of our station is preserved here. 2603:7000:3F00:11B:5CA9:CCEC:36E9:2C84 (talk) 18:55, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please see here, and here, also you may wish to create an account to avoid future confusion. - BlueboyLINY (talk) 20:12, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough in terms of conflict of interest. All I did in terms of edits, though, was restoring what you deleted. I'm going to restore it one more time; feel free to re-word sections that aren't properly cited, but please do not just delete entire sections that can be easily sourced to our website. It's very frustrating. 2603:7000:3F00:11B:DCBA:6982:B1C6:BA4A (talk) 00:18, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I cleared the "Notable Guests" section since it wasn't necessary and was the least cited, but please let's not keep deleting this entire page. Everything on it currently is accurate and can be sourced to the WNYU website or one of the citations at the bottom. 2603:7000:3F00:11B:2917:FE14:D01F:362C (talk) 04:28, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IPs who are currently edit warring on this article would do well to read WP:BURDEN. Any unsourced content can be removed by any editor. It is not sufficient to say that the material can be "easily sourced" from some website. — Manti core 04:33, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused why this is considered unsourced, though? Do you have specific reasons for removing such a massive amount of text? 2603:7000:3F00:11B:81DF:F746:C6D2:7E65 (talk) 04:48, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The specific reasons are stated in the edit summaries; "all material added to articles must be verifiable in a reliable, published source" this DOES NOT include a radio station's website. If you are the station's general manager, you must not edit the page as it violates Wikipedia's policy regarding conflict of interest, and your ip address or account may be blocked. - BlueboyLINY (talk) 06:55, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. I'll stop editing it, but clearly you have no knowledge or stake in this page, so why not leave it how it was since I do? Much of this material is verifiable elsewhere, so please do your research and restore at least some of this information if you care about this page being accurate. Right now, it is not accurate. 2603:7000:3F00:11B:DCE8:84B0:8037:6A2A (talk) 00:36, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removed multiple issues template

Based on the deletion of unsourced material, I removed the Multiple Issues template. The remaining text is so basic that the template's two issues seem to no longer apply. Please leave a message on my Talk page if you have any feedback. Thanks. Allreet (talk) 05:28, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
