Delete. WP:TOOSOON article about a radio station, which despite the claim that it "will begin broadcasting in the fall of 2015" is apparently still not actually in operation. WP:NMEDIA does not confer notability on a radio station until it's actually broadcasting a signal, precisely because stations sometimes entirely fail to launch at all before their "construction permits" expire. No prejudice against recreation if and when the station can actually be sourced as having launched, but it's not a suitable article topic yet if we can't verify that.

Delete; there's no source to back the claim of plans to go on the air in 2015, and nothing to indicate if that even happened. The only sources in this article are FCCdata.org (which simply presents data that can also be found on the FCC's own website, and simply affirms the paper existence of the construction permit) and an aircheck on YouTube of a station in Fort Lauderdale, Florida that used to be WJQY, which is virtually off-topic for a station in Wilson, North Carolina (to say nothing about linking to such a YouTube video). Unlaunched stations do not enjoy the presumption of notability assumed for established/operating stations; it's too soon to determine if the station has, or ever will, launch (they have until March 28, 2017 to do so). --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 22:26, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
