KBUP is not "one of the oldest radio stations in the state of Washington". That's KGY, the station that used to occupy 1240 AM and has now migrated, under that call, to 95.3 FM. The heritage alluded to here, going back to the ham radio shack of a priest and professor at the current St. Martin's University, is KGY's, not KBUP's. The continuous nature of the KGY brand through successive geographical and frequency moves is attested on KGY's website: http://www.kgyfm.com/#!kgyhistory/cuhy
KGY does not currently have a WP entry, but I mean to change that. (For the record, I'm not affiliated with the station in any way.) In the meantime, please rewrite the History section of the KBUP entry so that the new Sacred Heart station is not presented as the current iteration of Fr. Ruth's amateur radio station, and the suggestion isn't made that KGY has folded into KBUP and disappeared. Laodah23:12, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The Federal Communications Commission traces stations by facilities, so KBUP is the same station as KGY, thus, as far as the FCC is concerned, there was just a call letter change for Facility ID #34486 from KGY to KBUP, but it is still the same station. The translator station on 95.3 FM (Facility ID# 140747) currently relaying KYYO-HD2 and using "KGY" as its slogan is reviewed under its call sign of K237FR. - Thomas H.
