Delete per nom. I'm actually the original creator here, but I did so at a very different time in Wikipedia's history — in 2005, our notability standards weren't nearly as dependent on the distinction between reliable and primary sources as they are now. Rather, the fact of multistation syndication was considered an "inherent" notability claim for a radio program, such that as long as the program's own website technically verified the fact as true, the program was "entitled" to have a Wikipedia article and exempted from ever actually having to cite any non-primary sources. That's no longer how it works, however — over the 13 years since, we've learned a lot of hard lessons about how much that approach left us open to advertorialism and even outright hoaxery, so our notability rules have been rightly and wisely tightened up a lot more. But this simply doesn't have the depth of coverage needed to meet the stricter standards that apply in 2018. Bearcat (talk) 12:56, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If it aired on more than Newcap stations, it would be one thing, but this show never expanded beyond that basic number of stations into the rest of the country. Ottawa is it for a major market for this show, so you might as well call it equivalent to a regional countdown show that is in the minor leagues of Canadian radio.
