Draft:KTXF 93.5 FM - Lakehills, Texas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: The correct title for this page would be KTXF-LP. It is going to be impossible to get this article approved without reliable sources. That will not happen until the station goes on the air, and it may not happen at all given decreases in news coverage about radio stations and this being a low-power FM. We have been stricter in recent years on enforcing notability criteria for radio stations. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 04:01, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
