Probable hoax. No evidence that this station exists. It is not listed the 2018 list of FM stations by the NTC. That list also does not identify any FM station located in the province of Bataan (Region 3). Bluemask (talk) 06:13, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Radio stations do sometimes go out of business or change their call signs, so it's certainly within the realm of possibility that the station existed in the past even if it doesn't still exist now — but we have seen hoax articles created about radio stations that never really existed at all, as well as stations that got license approvals on paper but never actually launched before their approvals expired and thus never actually broadcast at all. So we don't simply assume that a radio station passes WP:NMEDIA in the absence of adequate verification in reliable sources — the inclusion test for a radio station is not satisfied just because the article text says so, but requires reliable sources to properly support that the station actually meets the notability criteria.

  • Delete as a likely hoax. I don't see it on the 2011 list either. power~enwiki (π, ν) 17:37, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No references in the article, no online references that I can find. Ifnord (talk) 11:53, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
