WKPS: Merge with WKPS

2008-03-25T22:45:17.0012Z

This article should merge with WKPS; The LION 90.7fm is the public branding name for the radio station with the call letters WKPS (an FCC-assigned identification). The LION operates on the 90.7fm frequency as Penn State University's student radio station.

I'd be happy to provide any clarification or additional detail (I'm an employee and DJ at The LION).

WBBM-FM: Don't merge

I don't think that merging the FM and AM stations makes sense -- they have different formats, frequencies, broadcast classes, etc.

WTIC-FM: Don't merge

There seem to be two, separate, radio stations in Hartford with the same callsign, one FM and one AM. Both are operated by the same company, but I don't think it makes sense to merge them -- they have different formats, frequencies, etc.

Radio Station: Programs

2007-09-24T17:48:05.0000Z

We have no schema for radio programs right now, so if you want to try modeling it in your private domain, please do! We also seem to lack a "radio network" type, so you might need to add that as well. I don't know much about the ins and outs of radio (just what I can glean from listening to a show's credits), but I'd be happy to give you feedback, help, whatnot with your schema if you want/need it. Take a look at the model for TV program; much of it will probably be similar to radio.

Radio Station: Programs

A radio station, like a public radio station, has programs, analogous to the "TV program" hierarchy. These programs can be from a network e.g. NPR or can be locally produced. SO I might consider (but don't know how to add them)

Radio Station: Please add property for region

Radio stations (and TV stations) should be co-typed as broadcaster. I think the "areas served" property on the broadcaster schema will answer for you.

Radio Station: Please add property for region

There should be a property to make it easy to filter by city. I would be fine with a list of cities...

Radio Station: Please properties for specific artists and songs

It would be awesome to have a reciprocal link to artist and song from a radio station. I'm not a buyer or downloader of music. I stream.
