- Comment: First UK radio article! And this one was held up by sticks and stones. It also had a major date error which had propagated to three timelines and a YouTube video title.

5x expanded by Sammi Brie (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 705 past nominations.

Hi Sammi Brie, glad to see some interest in British local radio and good work sorting out the date error, especially as it had spread! Review: article more than 5x expanded from 15 August; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what looks to be reliable sources; I unfortunately don't have access to most of the sources but happy to AGF there is no overly close paraphrasing from them, Earwig check is clear and I didn't find any issues in a spotcheck on some I could access; hook facts are interesting enough to me. mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited therein; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 12:53, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
