Wrong format

Who write's this stuff? I am listening to WKTA right now on a weekday, and the the station is AIRING RUSSIAN. Not Spanish Tropical. WKTA has always aired brokered, MIXED ETHNIC for many years. There was never any change in this. The Korean broadcaster which aired for many years 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM went away in 2022, but was replaced by Russian language. The Spanish programming airs overnights when blocks of time are not sold. The Spanish programing is Mexican, not Tropical. 204.26.30.5 (talk) 20:51, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder why my corrections are Undone? The format is NOT Spanish Tropical! I guess Wikipedia would rather have information that is incorrect instead of information which is correct (from me). WKTA airs Russian programming on weekdays from 7 AM - 7 PM. The name of the Russian-language program which began in 2024 is: 'Novoe Radio Chicago'. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/people/Novoe-Radio-Chicago-1330AM/61554746152248/

Prior to the launch of 'Novoe Radio Chicago', WKTA aired a Russian language program named 'Reklama Radio', which aired weekdays 7 AM - 9 AM, and 5 PM - 7 PM. Here is the link (look at the banner on the top):

I also added some information about recent history on WKTA but that got deleted too(. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.26.30.5 (talk) 23:10, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the "original research" from the person who posted the false, incorrect incorrect information that the format is Spanish Tropical? I look forward to reading your reply. For the record, the format of WKTA is NOT Spanish Tropical Never was. WKTA airs some Spanish-language automated Mexican music during overnights when hour blocks are unsold to international programmers. The correct format is: Brokered Mixed Ethnic / Multicultural. I have already proven the fact (and provided a link) that WKTA airs Russian-language programming on weekdays from 7 AM - 7 PM but my post was undone. Wonder why? 204.26.30.5 (talk) 08:28, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:OR. What you are doing is the epitome of original research. You need to provide independent, reliable, sources. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 09:32, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't answer my previous questions. Where is the "independent, reliable, sources" from the original poster? What is posted currently is INCORRECT! That person has not provided any sources at all. The information is just made up out of thin air. But for some unknown reason, you let that stay and my correct, factual information gets removed. Wonder why? Furthermore, I already have provided a reliable source! Is the Russian-language programmer's (Novoe Radio Chicago, which airs on WKTA weekdays 7 AM - 7 PM) own Facebook page "not reliable"? There are many businesses nowadays which do not have their own websites because they have Facebook instead.

Another thing, the Spanish-language music which airs overnight is NOT Tropical. It's Mexican. Like I said, WKTA (Polnet Communications) airs some Spanish language when hour blocks are unsold to Ethnic programmers. Russian-language 'Novoe Radio Chicago' (weekdays 7 AM - 7 PM) was launched in 2024. 'Novoe Radio Chicago' replaced 'Reklama Radio' which previously aired weekdays 7 AM - 9 AM and 5 PM - 7 PM.

By the way, 'Novoe' and 'Reklama' are related. Reklama expanded from 4 hours per day to 12 hours per day under a new name. You can see how the 2 are connected right here:

Like I said, the format of 1330 WKTA is: Brokered Mixed Ethnic / Multicultural, just like sister station 1430 WEEF. For many years, WKTA aired 'Chicago Korean Radio' on weekdays, 9 AM - 5 PM (later expanded to 7 PM) but that was discontinued in 2022, which is presently replaced by Russian-language. 204.26.30.5 (talk) 02:20, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
