Proposing moving this to DWAR-AM / DWAR

[edit]

Since yesterday, 1494 AM is now DWAR and is broadcasting now, this should be moved now to DWAR-AM/DWAR title, and make DWSS-AM a redirection page instead. Hamham31 (talk) 07:29, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed

[edit]

Please cite a press release or media coverage that the DWSS that signed off in 2020 is the same station as the one broadcasting now on the same frequency. If not, create a new article for the new station. Like the case of DZMM-AM vs DWPM while new station is using the frequency and some facilities of the old station is de facto not the same station. --Bluemask (talk) 01:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only way to confirm the station's current info is to ask for a copy of the latest AM listing from the NTC via FOI. Until then, the station still uses the call letters DWSS. ASTIG😎🙃 10:03, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but apparently some articles of Abante have been called this station as DWAR. I haven't yet to check the press release since they are on test broadcast and their launching will be held anytime soon. Supercrumblesph (talk) 02:07, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any reference that they took over the old station DWSS? Or is this a new station that took over the frequency only? This is media were talking about, there ought to be a press release or media coverage published somewhere (passing the reliability standard of Wikipedia of course).

I saw a post from Dolan Castro's FB page regarding the station a couple of months ago. And a part of the station's programming is all that I can find, though it's a primary source. The rest are mentions from radio interviews.
As far as I know, Abante's owner Prage doesn't have a franchise to run a terrestrial radio station. So, most likely Prage acquired the license holder of the station, like the Villars acquired AMBS a few years ago.
And the fact that DWAR is the call letters of an AM station in Laoag owned by a company whose franchise was revoked a few months ago. I don't think Abante's station can obtain those call letters that easily. ASTIG😎🙃 13:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
