Article about a single-market local radio show, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing our notability criteria for radio shows. As always, radio shows are not "inherently" notable just because they existed -- they have to reliably source a claim to significance, such as winning noteworthy radio awards and/or being the subject of enough media coverage in sources independent of themselves to pass WP:GNG.
But there's no evidence of anything noteworthy being shown here: firstly, the article just reads like a listener summarizing the show's format, without making any effort to record any external validation of its significance. Secondly, the only source that's actually being used to footnote any content was self-published by the station that aired it and thus isn't an independent source for the purposes of establishing notability -- and while there is one independent news article about its cancellation in 2018 being used to footnote the footnote instead of the article body, one piece of media coverage in the same market's local newspaper isn't enough all by itself. And thirdly, even on a ProQuest search for older coverage that wouldn't Google, I didn't find anything that would turn the tide: apart from the same newspaper article that's already here, I can only find one other source that might actually be useful, and even that's a fairly short piece which still isn't substantive enough to nail notability to the wall if it's the only other thing I can find. Otherwise, I'm only finding glancing namechecks of the show's existence in tangential coverage of Andy Frost's stint as a hockey announcer and/or his thoughts on the anniversary of Woodstock, which don't help notability as they aren't about the show.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the show from having to have much better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 17:48, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
