Comments

This article has some of the same problems with its "History" section and with encyclopedicness elsewhere as the other articles about NYC FMs, including WWPR-FM and the misnamed WQHT-FM. The title of this article is correct, however. 18.26.0.18 00:58, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Some one is repeating stuff

The Z Morning Zoo features Stupid News with John Bell, Danielle's Sleaze Report, "Carolina's Rage Page", Phone Taps (a prank call to an unsuspecting friend or relative of a listener), a stunt performed by Greg T, various contests, and news and weather reports.

Bits

Elvis List

Mr. Cardboard Tube - Voiced by Elvis with a Cardboard Tube

Phone Taps

Stupid News

The Sleeze

I think the "Bits" part should be deleted as the top paragraph explains in detail what is on the show. Plus I would add "Mr Moviepone".

Any Objections?

Removed

"this is a great music station! peace out!

        incredibly SoNaM!"

In the article, some wiseass put stupid comments in, removed. CP

New! ZZone

I will add a section about this new feature on Z100 as soon as possible.

I will be glad to help you with your project if you would like.--English836 02:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Z100 logo.gif

Image:Z100 logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Why are other regions not listed

"WHTZ, also known as Z100, is a radio station that serves New York City and the neighboring Northern New Jersey region"

Why are these regions, Long Island, Westchester, the Hudson River Valley, Pike and Monroe Counties in northeastern Pennsylvania not listed as areas which receive broadcasting from WHTZ. I've been to all four regions and have listened to Z100 on the radio. 24.188.118.20 (talk) 03:38, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WHTZ → Z100 – Per WP:COMMONNAME. How many people do you know that call the station WHTZ? GeicoHen (talk) 00:17, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Z100 is a different page, and you haven't given a reason why we should delete it to merge it into a hatnote. Further, you haven't shown this is the primary topic of Z100 either. The Zenith Z-100 has a fair bid for being the most encyclopedic topic. -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 03:50, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Radio stations, per naming standards, go by the station's callsign, which is WHTZ. Also, besides the Zenith, at least 4 other radio stations share the "Z100" name, not just WHTZ. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 21:43, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jingle Ball, Subjective - replace with history?

"The 2011 Jingle Ball was considered the biggest Jingle Ball Z100 has ever had. It drew in artists like..."

My suggestions:

ADD "History of Jingle Ball" with years and bands that played. Fun/useful as I can't find a complete history online. This is a large, notable concert in the NYC-metro area. Possibly frame-out a table? (Let people fill in as they can).
REMOVE (above)Quote/Sentence, clearly subjective and no citation. Anyone who has been there will likely consider their year "the best/biggest". eg..
- 1995 included: Alanis Morissette,Blues Traveler,Collective Soul,Dave Matthews Band,Gavin Rossdale,Goo Goo Dolls,Hootie & The Blowfish,Natalie Merchant,Soul Asylum.
- (IIRC,Gavin played 1 or 2 songs solo-acoustic, probably Glycerin. This was billed as a "secret/surprise guest appearance". Bush was never involved that year.

Proposed merge of WMGM-FM (New York City) into WHTZ

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result was no merge. While I did !vote in the discussion, it has been more than four months and only three comments were received, all of them in opposition to the proposal. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 08:18, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural close from Special:Permalink/1023918624#Proposed Move Request. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 02:47, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@YborCityJohn: Radio station articles are always by call sign, not frequency. This proposed merger goes against established policy. See WP:WPRS to learn more. 162 etc. (talk) 03:03, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, as the editor who undid the combination last year. The license history of the current WHTZ has nothing to do with the early WMGM. For two separate radio stations to be covered in one article, the connection must be pretty tight (operating on the same frequency AND with the same personnel, call sign or format) — see my essay, User:Sammi Brie/One or Two. This is not that case. John Smith and Jane Doe aren't the same person because they lived in the same house at different times. DrChuck's comment on the original discussion is correct. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:35, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: These are two different stations on two different licenses, with a gap of several years between them and no connection other than using the same frequency. Had WMGM's reapplication for 100.3 been approved over WVNJ's application back in the late 1950s, it might be a different story, but that didn't happen, so here we are. (Plus, by the logic of the proposal, which amounts to "all content about the usage of this frequency in this market must be in one single article", we'd end up having to merge shared-time stations into one article, which would be impractical and, in a different way, could be construed as another way to "clutter up Wikipedia". To say nothing of stations that change frequencies, only for the old frequency to be reused by a different station…) --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 06:23, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
