Talk:102.2 Smooth FM

criticisms

There seems to be little on the controversy and the move away from Jazz (for example several listeners tried to complain to the regulator that smooth was failing in its required remit to broadcast jazz). The whole controversy over the changes seems ignored in the current article. Luckily, we have thejazz now. Magic Pickle 11:22, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Would anyone like to offer good reasons in opposition to a proposed merger of this with 102.2 Jazz FM? From reading, I think the renaming consolidated changes that had already taken place of Jazz FM and wasn't itself the launch of a new station. It retained the same licence, after all. We don't have seperate articles about Talk Radio UK and Talk Sport, after all, and that was a significant change. Morwen - Talk 01:36, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I can see the reasoning behind the merger, indeed I'll add the tags now... The only problem would be that once jazzfm.com loses its DAB radio services, it'll fail the Wikipedia notability tests. So I should suggest it all be merged into this article. I would be happy to see all the articles merged if the distincition of the name of Jazz FM and Smooth FM is kept separate. I'll add the tags now. Sonic 07:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I've also done the same to 100.4 Jazz FM for the reasons outlined above.

I would also suggest after the merger if it goes ahead, changing the Jazz FM disambiguation page to a redirect to CJRT-FM (Jazz FM 91) in Canada, with the following at the top of the page:

This article is about the Canadian radio station known as JAZZ.FM 91. For the former UK radio station, Jazz FM, see 102.2 Smooth FM for the London, DAB and Freeview service, or Smooth FM 100.4 for the North West of England and the Sky Digital service. Sonic 08:10, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Okies. By the way, I don't see the problem with jazzfm.com. Even if it stops having broadcasting now, then it will have broadcasted in the past still, and thus can do with an article (if we decide that's the best way to handle it). Morwen - Talk 09:39, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

It's interestring to note that although the changes occured gradually before the name change, which I agree with, the Wikiproject:Wikiproject Radio Stations actually give the change of name and format as they class it of 102.2 Jazz FM to 102.2 Smooth FM as an example. It also gives advice on what to do regarding radio articles on Wikipedia. If we are to follow their advice, all articles should remain as they are.

Someone has done a merge for 100.4 Jazz FM and virtually everything I did for the article, logo's an all have pretty much been deleted. I'm worried hours of my work may go if this merger goes ahead, any thoughts? Sonic 07:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

After discussion on the Wikiproject Radio Station talk page, the articles should remain separate, the discussion can be seen here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Radio Stations#Potential merger of Jazz FM and Smooth FM articles, which goes against guidance on project page. I'll remove the tags. Someone has already merged the 100.4 Jazz FM and Smooth FM 100.4 articles. What should I do? Sonic 18:32, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

On the advice of the people who contributed to the above discussion on the radio stations wikiproject, I have restored the 100.4 Jazz FM article. Sonic 13:46, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:SmoothFM london.gif

Image:SmoothFM london.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
