Delete. Article about a single-station local radio program with no evidence of notability per WP:NMEDIA. This is sourced only to the routine and expected level of media coverage in its own local media about staffing changes, with no evidence of wider interest beyond its own city, and the closest thing here to a strong notability claim -- "The show had one of the highest difference in ratings of other shows in major market radio" -- is both unsourced and difficult to parse. As always, a radio show doesn't get a Wikipedia article just because you claim something noteworthy about it -- it gets a Wikipedia article when you can reliably source something noteworthy about it. But all the sources here are sitting on things like "new guy joins staff" and "old guy leaves staff", with no sources for whatever the hell "highest difference in ratings" is supposed to mean. (Article was kept in the original discussion in 2008; however, NMEDIA is much stricter in 2016 about what it takes for a radio program to be considered notable enough for an article than it was a decade ago.)

Merge and redirect to WRIF. Voluminous news sources revealed by a simple search make it apparent that this long-running show was of particular importance to the history of the station (as noted by some of the commenters in the first AfD), and this content and sourcing can be used to improve the station article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:35, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
