WHOV

  • ... that announcers at a Virginia radio station were warned that playing more than three rap songs an hour could get them fired? Source: Mobley, Mark (May 25, 1991). "The Mambo kings: Hispanic listeners hear a little bit of home". The Virginian-Pilot. p. B1. Most of the week, WHOV's tiny control room in Armstrong Hall is occupied by students playing jazz and R&B. A sign on the wall warns: R&B ANNOUNCERS DO NOT PLAY More Than 3 Rap Songs Per Hour. THE PENALTY WILL BE IMMEDIATE TERMINATION.

  • This is a quality article with a timely nomination. The 5x expansion checks out and the QPQ is done. SB, could you direct me to a newspapers.com clipping or email me the article so the hook fact can be verified? We can turn to Resource Exchange if that is not possible, though.--NØ 07:28, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
    • @MaranoFan: It's not a Newspapers.com publication past 1963, and right now I can't clip from GenealogyBank. I can send you via Discord or email a PDF from NewsBank. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 16:21, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
