New enough with 5x-plus expansion on 4 August. Also long enough and policy compliant. Earwig check turned up nothing untoward. Hook is short enough, hooky enough, and sourced in-line. QPQ is done. Just one quibble. Neither the article nor the source says King encouraged "construction" of the station. Rather, it says that King encouraged her to keep fighting for a broadcast license. If you can adjust the hook to reflect more closely what the source and the article say, we should be good to go. Cbl62 (talk) 07:18, 5 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
