Non-notable community radio station with coverage that does not meet the GNG, all primary/affiliated sources and links to Companies House. Despite the name, never broadcast on an actual FM frequency, as far as I can tell. My PROD was declined by NemesisAT—this station might have been salvageable if it had broadcast on the FM dial, but it didn't. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:11, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems notable to me and not being on FM is not a reason to delete. The article gives a good description of the history of the station and includes references. Rillington (talk) 11:42, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: TheComet.net article is the only semi-reliable source that covers the subject to some extent. The other sources are not reliable nor establish notability. Subject does not meet criteria for WP:GNG. Multi7001 (talk) 04:15, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Internet radio services do not get an automatic presumption of notability per WP:BCAST just because it's possible to verify that they existed; the notability test requires them to pass WP:GNG on media coverage in sources independent of themselves. But this is referenced 5/6 to primary sources (a business directory entry, its own self-published website about itself) that are not support for notability at all, and the only independent source is a short blurb in a community hyperlocal, which is a start but not in and of itself enough to get this over GNG all by itself if it's the only independent source in the mix.

• Merge to List of radio stations in the United Kingdom#Former community radio stations per ATD-R. Merits a one-line entry in that list.—S Marshall T/C 12:10, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
