Programming section edit

Over the last couple of days, an IP and a new user bearing the station call sign have attempted to remove this section, and have been reverted. The user currently is blocked for issuing a legal threat on an admin's talk page. My question is, while it looks innocuous, how confident are we that the information in that section is correct? The cite to the Music Business Radio blog seems valid, but all the indicates is that the station runs that particular program, which according to MBR's website is broadcast once a week. What's our source for the other information in that section? Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 20:57, 19 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

The rest of the programming section, and indeed almost the entire article, seems to be confirmed by the radio stations own website: [1]. If it is wrong there, its not our responsibility to know that. Indeed, if the (now blocked) person who claims to be the station owner really is, he should perhaps get his own house in order before deciding that Wikipedia is somehow wrong. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 21:11, 19 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
On balance it does seem difficult to see what reasonable objection one might have to this. Well, unless the account chooses to share the reason for his objection, it doesn't seem to be worth worrying over. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 21:32, 19 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
As an editor that has made substantial additions to this article, I can say that I based all of my edits on the FCC database, the station's official website, and the several reliable sources included as references. The editor who has been deleting all or part of this article over the last few days has been deleting such incontrovertible areas as the infobox, links to the FCC and other standard databases, and all of the formatting. This article just survived an AfD but based on the IP address that does not appear to be a possible cause for the apparent attacks on this article. - Dravecky (talk) 21:52, 19 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
I didn't mean to call your edits into question in any way. I only was seeking a rational basis for the editor's actions. On that score, I still don't see it, and am happy to let it drop. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 22:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
"Because I own gthe damn station and it is my legal right to what goes on this site." I think he was probably unhappy that it wasn't promotional. --Smashvilletalk 22:23, 19 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Actually, WMRO (was WWGM) signed on in 1963 as WLVN. It was a 3 tower direction station, operating at 10,000 watts daytime only. It was onwed by "The Second Thurday Corporation". There is no documentation on the we talking about this, but according to Nashville retired broadcaster Tom Bryant of WSM-AM, told the story and WLVN signed on with a Country Music Format.~~
