WMGM-FM (New York City) → WHTZ – The history of the 100.3FM frequency and radio stations that occupied it should be in one single article, if we start putting multiple articles it will clutter up Wikipedia. YborCityJohn (talk) 17:57, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
- It's my understanding that the article follows the license of the station. WMGM-FM's license was surrendered to the FCC in 1955, and for a few years there was no station on 100.3 FM. There was a new license holder for 100.3 FM (in Newark), and the station became WHTZ today. There's really no need to merge the two, as they are separate stations. --DrChuck68 (talk) 22:51, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose, an RM isn't a merge request, see WP:MERGE. 162 etc. (talk) 23:02, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
