  • Comment: ALT1 may be quite the quirky (designed to be a play on wrestling WWE Elimination Chamber), but it also will likely end up being changed to past tense if we have to wait until April 1 to run it. If we do, the article title will be KUCU by then. ALT2 is my last resort?

5x expanded by Sammi Brie (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 785 past nominations.

• On it.
  [[File:Symbol question.svg|16px]] @Sammi Brie: Well, 1st, the article doesn't need to change its name, but it & the hooks do need to be updated to reflect any changes (including verb tense adjustments) that have happened since the nomination went up. 2nd, "elimination" and "elimination chamber" aren't "quite quirky". They just don't work: "steel cages" and "cage matches" are things. "Cage elimination chambers" aren't, even though the elimination chambers are steel cages. ("Cage" doesn't even show up in the WWE Elimination Chamber article.) ALT0 works fine straight but ALT1 doesn't. 3rd, any chance to use "Utahn" (silly as it is) is quirky and confusing/interesting to at least some of the readers. It's probably better if you could rephrase ALT0 or add a new alt that included it. 4th, this source's claim that KAGJ-FM was the first non-commercial Utahn radio station is pretty interesting if it's actually accurate. (Maybe it doesn't actually count since the call letters were different?) 5th, if you like ALT2 better at this point, it's probably a better hook if you mention "college" somewhere in the bolded bit there.
  
  Aside from that, 5× happened in a timely fashion, over the minimum length, hooks are the right length &c., no copyvio per Earwig, QPQ done with oak leaves, and generally well done work. — LlywelynII 21:26, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
• @LlywelynII: The sale transaction has not yet been processed by the FCC, so that is not an issue as of yet. I've tweaked ALT2. A hook about "first" is a) likely to fail WP:DYKINT these days and b) not true because of the terribly discontinuous history of radio at Snow College. A possible ALT3, which I'll leave here, may be interesting: Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 21:43, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

  ALT3: ... that a Utah college radio station is being phased out in response to a state directive to cut programs deemed "inefficient"?

  • I guess no interest in adding Utahnnnnn. Anyway, ALT2 G2G. — LlywelynII 21:47, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Sale's gone thru?

KUER has regularly been stating for weeks that it's on KAGJ in Ephraim. GeorgeTSLC (talk) GeorgeTSLC (talk) 06:09, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
