Campus radio station. Cannot locate evidence of it passing WP:NOTE. Nancy talk 18:32, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Comment: I think that all permanent licensed radio stations in the UK are automatically notable but it is not clear that they actually have an FM licence, despite the station name. I can't find a frequency on their website and "fly fm" is not found when I search Ofcom. They seem to be members of the Student Radio Association, and have won awards from them, so maybe there is something there. I would like to give the article the benefit of the doubt, as I used to do student radio myself, but it urgently needs some more references if it is to stand a chance. As it stands, I couldn't honestly put even a very weak keep on it. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:29, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment: "we broadcast live online from our studios in Byron House on every single day of term. We also broadcast live in Union bars and shops at all three NTU campuses". Doesn't sound like they have a free-radiating broadcast license. JulesH (talk) 20:27, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete: non-notable campus station. Doesn't appear to broadcast outside of university. JamesBurns (talk) 01:19, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete, from what I've looked at, they have no license and have been broadcasting on one of those frequencies that have a short range (which would explain why it is only broadcast on the campus). Tavix (talk) 03:52, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete per information gathered in good faith investigation by various editors. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:07, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
