This article is nothing more than a puff advertising scribble for the current station going by these call letters and about which there is nothing special or noteworthy. This present article should be deleted or modified to show that WFUN-AM in broadcasting history belongs to the station in Miami, Florida which supplied the djs and format ideas for Swinging Radio England and helped to create the sound of the "Swinging Sixties". That station does have a history of note and this current entry is but a joke inserted into Wikipedia like free advertising. There is a wealth of broadcasting history about WFUN in Miami that is worth reporting and knowing.
- Comments such as indicating that the current WFUN is "non-noteable" do not conform to Wikipedia's NPOV. The radio station currently broadcasting on 970 kHz is noteable to those in the radio industry and listeners in northeast Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania. The station's history dates back to the early 1940s, and it even spawned a television station during the 1950s when UHF stations like it were doomed. The article otherwise conforms others created for Wikipedia:WikiProject Radio Stations, although it is a stub and it should be expanded.
- The history of WFUN in Miami is important, but its detail doesn't belong here. It belongs in the article on WAXY. Please note that the current Wikipedia naming convention states: "Where a station has changed call signs, please put the station's entire history in its current call sign". See Wikipedia:Naming conventions#North America. There is no article on WAXY. I suggest that you write an article on the history of the radio station on 790 in Miami. This should include the rise and fall of WFUN there, the change to WNWS and the present-day WAXY.--Hillrhpc 03:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
